T ake out the assembly spring – shock
absorber, by pressing on the lower arm in
order to avoid the shock absorber came in
contact with the transmission bellows.

OLLISION DIAGNOSIS
Du ring the vehicle exploitation, the carriage body may suffer different distortions, that
lead many times to the wheels setting angles change, body elements breakage, vibra tions
or even mechanical parts wear. In these conditions, be fore performing the vehicle body re paration, some checking is
necessary:
Visual checking - consisting in the e xamination of the mechanical elements attachments
and of the distortions occurring in the vehicle damaged areas.
Checking with the bar (control gauge) – consisting in comparing the measurements
done in symmetric points. The ge ometry checking of t he rol ling t ransmissions – this checking is t he only one
enabling to find out if the body damage was not affecting the vehicle road behavior.
IMP ORTANT
This checking must be not ignored, except some border-line cases, the checking of
the rolling transmissions leading to t he identification of the distortions occurred further
to an accident.
