Collision diagnosis
During the vehicle exploitation, the carriage body may suffer different distortions, that lead
many times to the wheels setting angles modification, body elements breakage, vibrations or even
mechanical parts wear.
In these conditions, before performing the vehicle body reparation, some checking is necessary:
Visual checking - consisting in the examinatio n of the mechanical elements attachments and
of the distortions occurring in the vehicle damaged areas.
Checking with the bar (control gauge) – consisting in comparing the measurements done
in symmet ric points.
The geometry checking of the rolling transmissions – this checking is the only one enabling to
find out if the body damage was not affecting the vehicle road behavior.
IMPORTANT :
This checking must be not ignored, except some border-line cases, the checking of
the rolling transmissions leading t o the identification of t he distortions occurred further
to an accident.

The checking / straightening bench type CELETTE (service code CAR 500) is composed of
: - CAR 501 (1 m obile bench with four wheels, four parts for ve hicle a nchoring, one
traction arm of 10 t, t ype CAIMAN). - CAR 502 – set modular cross bars;
- CAR 503 – set of 22 towers MZ;
- CAR 504 - set accessories for t raction ;
- CAR 505 - set of specific supports for DACIA Berline, Bre ak.
- CAR 506 - set of specifi c supports for DACIA 1304, 1307
- CAR 507 - set of specifi c supports for DACIA Nova/SupeRNova /SOLENZA.
1. CAR 501
The mobile bench (1) is provided with four anchoring parts (2) - (fig 1 ), which can be used when
a carriage body straightening operation is performed.

REPLAC EMEN T
This operation shall be performed only on the repair/checking bench.. For the specific sup-
ports mounting on the bench, please see the 40 chapter.
DISMOUNTIN G
Dismount the damaged elements, which are
in contact with the rear longitudinal girder. Proceed to a straightening on the body
checking/ straightening until bringing the ve-
hicle as closed as possible to the initial shape.
D etach the welding points of the rear
longitudinal girder (1), which are i n contact
with:
- central floor in the area ( 2);
- rear floor in the are a ( 3);
- rear extreme cross member in the area ( 4);
- tank front cross member in the area ( 5);
- tank rear cross member in the area ( 6);
- inner wheel passage in the area ( 7);
- rear towing hock in t he area ( 9).
Detach the welding points between the rear
s ide cross member, re ar floor a nd threshold
closing plate in the area ( 8).
Strai ghten the areas resulted after dismounting.
Grind the areas resulted after dismounting.

R EMOUNTIN G
Position and center the new element by
means of the repairing bench. Weld the rear longitudinal girder following
the assembling outlines 2,3,4,5,6,7, 8 and
9(spots and under gas protection welding) Grind the performed welding.
Protect the performed welding with an
anticorrosive product.
Protect the replaced element with a noise
absorbent product. Mount the co nn ect i on e l eme n ts b y
performing the dismounting operations in the
reverse order.

DISMOUNTING
Dismount the two attachment screws of the bonnet lower half-hinge on the front pillar lining.
Dismount partially the front bumper.
Dismount the attachment screws (1) of the wheel passage fairing.
Dismount the side-signaling lamp from the front wing.
Dismount the attachment screws (2), (3), (4) and (5) of the wing on the front wing lining, front
pillar lining, front bumper attachment side support, front pillars support and side frame lining
(front lower area). Dismount the front wing.
REMOU NT I NG
Perform the dismounting operations in the reverse order, ensuring the sealing by applying a
sealant material layer in the connection area of the wing with the front wing lining, front pillar and
side frame lining.

passage and : -backrest lock support i n the are a (2)
(2 weld x 10 mm); -connection bracket knee in the area (3)
(2 weld x 10 mm).
Protect t he welding with a corr osion-
preventing product.
Apply a layer of sealant material, in the
contact area (5) of the inner wheel passage with
the rear floor.
Paint the affected area.
