GENERAL INFORMATION
1. BASIC DIMENSIONS
(a) There are two types of dimensions in the diagram.
(Three-dimensional distance)
Straight-line distance between the centers of two
measuring points.
(Two-dimensional distance)
Horizontal distance in forward/rearward between
the centers of two measuring points.
The height from an imaginary standard line.
(b) In cases in which only one dimension is given, left
and right are symmetrical.
(c) The dimensions in the following drawing indicate
actual distance. Therefore, please use the dimen-
sions as a reference.
2. MEASURING
(a) Basically, all measurements are to be done with a
tracking gauge. For portions where it is not possible
to use a tracking gauge, a tape measure should be
used.
(b) Use only a tracking gauge that has no looseness in
the body, measuring plate, or pointers.
HINT:
1. The height of the left and right pointers must be equal.
2. Always calibrate the tracking gauge before measuring or
after adjusting the pointer height.
3. Take care not to drop the tracking gauge or otherwise
shock it.
4. Confirm that the pointers are securely in the holes.
(c) When using a tape measure, avoid twists and
bends in the tape.
(d) When tracking a diagonal measurement from the
front spring support inner hole to the suspension
member upper rear installation hole, measure
along the front spring support panel surface.

BODY PANEL ANTI-CHIPPING PAINT APPLICATION AREAS
HINT:
1. Anti-chipping paint should be applied to some areas before the second coat and to others after the top
coat.
2. If other areas are accidentally coated, wipe of the paint immediately with a rag soaked in grease, wax
and silicone remover.

BODY PANEL UNDERCOATING AREAS
HINT:
1. First wipe off any dirt, grease or oil with a rag soaked in a grease, wax and silicone remover.
2. Cover the surrounding areas with masking paper to avoid coating unnecessary areas. If other areas
are accidently coated, wipe off the coating immediately.
3. Apply the first coating of undercoat to all welded areas and panel joints, then apply a second coat over
the entire area.
4. Do not coat parts which become hot, such as the tailpipe, or moving parts, such as the propeller shaft.
5. Besides the locations described below, apply undercoating to all weld points under the body to insure
corrosion prevention.
6. Be sure to seal the edge of the flange of the member and bracket with undercoating.
7. If undercoat is damaged by peeling, cracks, etc., be sure to repair as necessary.
8. Before the undercoat apply sealer allowing rust prevention to be attained.
REFERENCE: Referring to the notes above, undercoating should be applied according to the specifications
for your country.

BODY PANEL ANTI-RUST AGENT (WAX) APPLICATION AREAS
HINT:
1. Whenever adjusting the doors and hoods, apply anti-rust agent (wax) around the hinges.
2. Even if partially repairing a part, apply anti-rust agent (wax) over the entire application area of the part.
3. Wipe off the anti-rust agent immediately with a rag soaked in a grease, wax and silicone remover, if
accidently applied to other areas.

BODY PANEL SEALING AREAS
HINT:
1. Prior to applying body sealer, clean the area with a rag soaked in a grease, wax and silicone remover.
2. If weld-through primer was used, first wipe off any excess and coat with anti-corrosion primer before
applying body sealer.
3. Wipe off excess body sealer with a rag soaked in a grease, wax and silicone remover.
4. If body sealer is damaged by peeling, cracks, etc., be sure to repair as necessary.
