WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Dodge Charger and 2010 Chrysler 300. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
| 1 - COVER PLATE |
| 2 - RAIL, REAR, OUTER |
| 3 - RAIL, REAR, INNER |
| 4 - REINFORCEMENT, REAR RAIL INNER, REAR |
"Rail, rear, outer" (2) - this portion of the rear rail assembly is not visible as it is gloved inside the "rail, rear, inner" (3) and the "cover plate, rear rail extension" (1). This rail may not be sectioned!
"Reinforcement, rear rail inner rear" (4) - welded inside of the "rail, rear, inner" (3) and extends from the end of that rail to the "panel, deck opening lower".
"Rail, rear inner" may be sectioned at this location (1), greatly reducing vehicle disruption and repair costs.
This partial replacement procedure presumes that all damage to the "rail, rear inner" is aft of the crossmember (2).
