UNDERBODY 
GENERAL
SERVICE
INFORMATION
Since 
each
underbody 
component 
directly 
affects 
the
overall
strength 
of 
the
body 
it 
is 
essential 
that
proper
welding 
sealing 
and 
rust
proofing 
techniques 
be 
observed
during 
service
operations
Whenever 
the
body 
is
repaired 
be
sure 
to 
provide 
the
repaired 
body 
parts 
with
rust
proof
In 
the
case 
of 
a
rust
proofmg 
critical
underbody
component 
it 
is 
essential 
that 
a
good 
quality 
type 
air
dry
primer 
such 
as 
corrosion 
resistant 
zinc 
chromate 
be 
used
Do
not 
use 
combination
type 
primer 
surfacers
ALIGNMENT 
CHECKING
PROCEDURE
Misalignment 
in 
the
underbody 
affects 
the 
front
fender 
door 
trunk 
lid
and 
window
alignments 
and 
also
the 
tail
gate 
and 
rear
body
opening 
alignments 
in 
the
case
of 
a 
station
wagon 
or 
van
Underbody 
misalignment
particularly 
affects
the
suspension 
system 
thereby 
causing
various
problems 
that 
arise 
from
suspension 
misalignment
It 
is 
essential 
that
underbody
components 
be
aligned
within 
the
specified 
dimensions
given 
in
Figures 
BF 
13 
14
and 
IS
In
the 
event 
of
collision 
damage 
it 
is
important 
that
underbody 
a1ignrnent 
be
thoroughly 
checked 
and 
if
necessary 
realigned 
to 
the
specified 
dirnensions
There 
are
many 
tools 
that
may 
be
ernployed 
to 
correct
collision
damage 
such
as 
frame
straightening 
machines
external
