I - MAIN FRONT TRIM-SETTING REFERENCE
POINTS
1 - Front sub-frame in place
the jig covers the subframe bolt (A) .
Use this situation for a rear impact or a light frontal im-
pact without removing the mechanical components.
2 - Front sub-frame removed
The jig rests against the rear section of the side mem-
ber and is centred in the sub-frame rear mounting hole
(A) .Use this situation for a frontal impact with removal of
the mechanical components.
II - SECONDARY FRONT TRIM-SETTING
REFERENCE POINT
The jig covers the front subframe front mounting bolt
(C) .
Use this situation to confirm the trim-setting following a
rear impact, (e.g.: to replace a rear side member as-
sembly).
It is used to confirm the vehicle level in case of doubt
about the deformation of a main rear reference point.
120611
121747
Note:
If it is suspected that one of these points may be
deformed, use two additional points located in an
area not affected by the impact in order to confirm
trim-setting.
