The frame is subjected to the following types of
loads.
•
Vertical loads... Vertical loads may occur either
while stopped or during travel.
•
Lateral (horizontal) loads... This type of loads
occurs during turning, start-off and braking.
•
Torsional loads... Torsional loads occur while
traveling on roads with poor surface conditions.
These various types of loads are compounded under
various conditions, and are applied to the frame.
As a result, it is important, before attempting to repair
the frame, to carefully observe the shape of the dam-
aged part and to in that way fully understand the
cause of the damage.
CHECKING FOR FRAME CRACKING OR
FLANKING
Check, by using a test hammer, for flaking or cracking of the
welded surface of the sidemembers, crossmembers and brack-
ets.
REPAIRING CRACKS

bellow.
1. Remove the components near the crack.
2. Make
