Body Front

NOTE:

If the body dimensions at the front longitudinal member are not within the tolerance, checks must be performed to determine if the tensions are located within the vehicle structure. For this, loosen the threaded connections at the longitudinal member.

Take the dimensions again.

Only if the dimensions are still not within the tolerance, continue with the repair.
