SSANGYONG KORANDO 1997 Service Repair Manual

FRAME AND UNDERBODY 9N-9
SSANGYONG MY2002
GENERAL DESCRIPTION AND SYSTEM OPERATION
GENERAL BODY CONSTRUCTION
This vehicle is constructed with a unitized body which
in-corporates integral front and rear frame side rails.
The front suspension lower control arms are bolted to
and retained by supports, one each on the right and
left sides. The front suspension lower control arm
supports are attached to the underbody with three bolts
at two locations. The engine is bolted to the integral
front side rails. The suspension strut towers must be
dimensionally correct in relation to the remainder of
the underbody in order to maintain specified
suspension strut and caster/camber angles.
Since the individual underbody parts contribute directly
to the overall strength of the body, it is essential to
observe proper welding techniques during servicerepair operations. The underbody parts should be
properly sealed and rustproofed whenever body repair
operations destroy or damage the original sealing and
rustproofing. When rustproofing critical underbody
parts, use a good-quality type of air-dry primer, such
as a corrosion-resistant chromate or an equivalent
material. Combination-type primer/surfacers are not
recommended.
ENGINE UNDER COVERS
The engine under covers are molded pieces of plastic
that serve as shields for the underside of the engine.
The covers help protect the engine from small rocks,
gravel and other objects that would otherwise come
into contact with the engine during normal driving
conditions.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
POWER DOOR LOCKS
The power door locks use a solenoid that is contained
in each door lock assembly. The door locks are
activated by the actuator on the inside door handle or
by the lock cylinder on the driver’s side door only.
When the driver’s side door is locked or unlocked by
the actuator or lock cylinder, all doors are locked or
unlocked accordingly.
POWER WINDOWS
The power windows are controlled by electrical
switches on the door trim center upper panel and areoperated by a motor at each window regulator. The
windows are lowered by pressing the switch and are
raised by pulling up on the switch. The window will
stop movement when the switch is released or when
the windowis completely open or closed.
DOOR LOCK STRIKER
The front door lock strikers each consist of a striker
with two screws threaded into a floating cage plate in
the B-pillars. The door lock fork snaps over and engages
the striker.
