Chapter 2 Body Repair
Section 1 Body Damage Forms and Requirements for Repair
I. Body Damage Forms
The body damage forms are deformation caused by crash, overload, fatigue and corrosion, and tearing,
rusting, water & dust leaking.
The damage of the body is caused not only by overload, also by being often in an abnormal operating status
when the door or other parts are damaged. However, at most times, accidents like crash and turnover result
in bending and torsioning deflection because of the great overload on partial areas.
General conditions of the body damage are as follows:
1. The Front Central Is Crashed (Figure 5-13)
Figure 5-13 The Front Central Is Crashed
Because the front central is damaged by outside force, the left and right hood is usually stretched inwards;
therefore, the following are the key places to inspect.
1
Nearby the left and right mounting place of the hood;
2
Nearby the left and right mounting connection place of the front cross member.
