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.

DESIGN OF THE STRUCTURAL COMPONENT
The special feature of this type of part is that it combi-
nes the functions of front side member, front wheel
arch, centre floor front side cross member and front
end side cross member, and is made up of several pa-
nels of different types and thicknesses.IMPORTANT
Use a repair bench to ensure the positioning of the
points and the geometr y of the axle assemblies.
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 the following general information,
make sure that there are no special notes associa-
ted with the vehicle. These special notes are speci-
fied if necessary in other par ts of the sub-section
dealing with the component.
Note:
For a detailed description of a particular connec-
tion, see MR 400.

The information contained in the following descri-
bes the general repair procedure for all vehicles
having the same design for this part.

Note:
In all cases of removal of a component without its
replacement with a new one, mark the position of
the mountings before removing the mountings to
avoid adjustments during refitting.
Note:
The front wing is the penultimate removable compo-
nent to be fitted to the vehicle body in the factory.
For final adjustment, correctly position all the other
components including the bumper and the headli-
ghts for them to be correctly positioned.
