    IMPORTANT These measurements determine whether it is necessary to replace chassis components or repair the body on the straightening bench. Either the difference between the left and right or the distance measurement can be used for this evaluation.
IMPORTANT If there is visible damage (e.g. crack formation or deformation) on the front axle or rear axle carriers, these parts must be replaced.
 
4 Check torque strut, spring control arm, cross strut or lower transverse control arm of front axle for damage IMPORTANT If the radius rod, track control arm, transverse link or lower control arm is damaged, replace it: ↓
