GENERAL INFORMATION
Structural components to be positioned on the repair bench: Description40A
V - FRONT SHOCK ABSORBER UPPER MOUNTING
The jig supports the underneath of the shock absorber
cup and is centred on the hole (14) of the shock absor-
ber cup.
The jig is used to replace:
-a wheel arch,
-a front half unit.
The jig is also used in straightening.VI - ENGINE MOUNTING
The jig rests on the engine mounting and is centred on
engine mounting securing holes (15) .
The jig is used with the subframe removed for the re-
placement of:
-a front half unit.
-the engine mounting.
VII - FRONT IMPACT CROSS MEMBER MOUNTING
The jig rests vertically against the front end lower cross
member mounting unit, it is centred in the mounting ho-
les (16) .
The jig is used to replace:
-the radiator cross member mounting,
-the front side member completely or partially,.

IMPORTANT
This point contributes to ensuring the front axle
geometry. This point aligns the subframe of the
front axle in relation to the body. This point has a
direct influence on all of the front axle angles.

DESIGN OF THE STRUCTURAL COMPONENT
This steel part, which bolts onto the end of the front
axle subframe, combines two functions:
-absorption of front impact forces,
-radiator support cross member. Note:
The information contained in the following descri-
bes the general repair procedure for all vehicles
having the same design for this part.
Before reading this general information, check that
there are no special notes associated with this vehi-
cle. These special notes will be specified if applica-
ble in other parts of this subsection dealing with the
par t.
Note:
For a detailed description of a particular connec-
tion, see MR 400.
