- Repairs affecting the mounting points of assemblies and chassis/suspension components must be carried out on the straightening bench with the matching straightening attachment set or specification sheet for the vehicle.
Straightening attachments and specification sheets are also available for the top section, e.g.: door pillars, convertible top mounts, cowl, rear lid hinges, etc.
- Check windshield and rear window apertures for curvature by inserting the original glass.
- Take the gap dimensions for doors, engine hood and rear lid from the vehicle-specific gap dimension diagram.
- Bearing body components such as e.g. engine carriers, door pillars, frame side members etc. with deformations which can no longer be returned to their original shape by "cold straightening" must be replaced.
