Action
Check the alignment and if incorrect,
adjust the caster
if needed. Inspect
components for wear or damage.
Check for abnormal loading.
Check steering system

Check and adjust the tire air pressure.
Note: Excessively worn or uneven tires can
cause
pull/drift.
Check steering system.
Renew ball joints.
Inflate the tires to correct and uniform
pressure.
Check the brakes.
Check wheels and tires.

Body Systems Body Repair
A4.1 BODY REPAIR
Introduction
This section contains information, specifications and procedures for body repair and rectification of the Jaguar sedan
range (with standard wheelbase).
All repairs, whether structural or cosmetic, must ensure the continuance of the Paint Surface and Corrosion warranty,
where applicable.
Following repair or rectification, the vehicle must be returned to the original manufactured condition with regard to
occupant safety, dimensional accuracy, finish and corrosion protection.
Similarly, repaired vehicles must be fully checked, and where appropriate reset, with regard to steering, suspension,
restraint and
braking systems.
A4.1.1 Health and Safety
(Please Read The
Fol/owing Notes Carethlly)
Where legislation governing working conditions and practises is applicable, you should observe it. Do not forget that
you have a duty, to yourself and those around you, to act in a responsible manner in the workplace.
In the United Kingdom the Health and Safety
at Work Act (1974) places a duty on employers and employees to ensure,
whenever possible, safe working conditions and practices. Wherever a potential hazard is notified to, or identified by
the operator, he must employ the correct safety procedures and equipment.
Should
a personal injury occur as a result of any workshop activity, seek medical help as soon as possible and do not
attempt self-treatment other than by the application of first aid.
With the constant introduction of new materials in the manufacture of vehicles,
it is important that potential risks are
identified and precautions made known.
WARNING: READ AND UNDERSTAND WORKING PRACTICES CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEMS, SECTION 14, WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO
ERY
/ RECYCLE / RECHARGE EQUIPMENT.
WEAR SUITABLE EYE AND SKIN PROTECTION.
OBSERVE ALL APPLICABLE SAFETY REQUIREMENTS.
DO
NOT VENT REFRIGERANT DIRECTLY TO ATMOSPHERE, ALWAYS USE JAGUAR APPROVED RECOV

Material 1 dnnlirdiam I
High strength low alloy (HLSA).
Double sided zinc plated mild steel.
1 Boron steel
1 Mild steel.
A4.2.2 BODY ALIGNMENT
The illustrations on pages 11 - Body Dimensions PLAN, and 13 -Body Dimensions SIDE VIEW, provide specifications
for damage assessment and location of replacement parts.
These dimensions must be strictly applied whether they are used for damage assessment, component location or post
repair verification.
The plan view MASTER datums are nominated on the right
-hand side of the body with the left-hand datums dimen- sioned from them. Therefore, the right-hand datums must be known to be correct before any other cross-ar dimen- sions are checked.
W: The right-hand side is always looking towards the front, from the rear of the vehicle.
All dimensions are derived from a single
(ZERO) datum point for all three axes; X for length, Z for height and V cross- car.

A4.6.6.2 Body-side Moulding - Fitfed Condition
A4.6.6 BODY-SIDE MOULDINGS
A4.6.6.1 Introduction
There are two types of moulding fitted to the standard wheelbase sedan.
The lower moulding is ‘self
-locating‘ on the body / door lower feature line and therefore provides a fixed datum for
the location of the upper moulding (wherefitted). Replacement lower mouldings will be supplied in a primed condition
and therefore must be finished in accordance with A4.6.3, this section.

. ‘Spirit wipe’ appropriate body panel and where appropriate protect against damage.
. Gently warm body panel and moulding using infa-red lamp or similar.
. Lower moulding - align to body feature and other mouldings if appropriate, and secure into position.
. Upper moulding - align to lower moulding for distance (Fig. 1) and parallelism and other mouldings if appropriate,
and secure into position.
. Apply an even pressure along the moulding to fully secure to the panel.
