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.

CENTRAL PART CHECKING
The central part checking is performed in the purpose to establish if one of the distortions is
not affecting this part of the floor, from where the checking starts.
Compare the followings lengths : EI = FJ ; EJ = FI .
FRONT LONGITUDINAL GIRDERS CHECKING Compare the followings lengths: CG = DH; CH = DG .
If the l engths ( CH - DG) and the diagonals ( CG – DH) are not identical, c heck a gain the
point (3). If points ( 1) and (2) are good, the front axle a ngles may be checked.

REAR LONGITUDINAL GIRDERS CHECKING
Compare the following lengths: EK = FL ; EL = FK .
REAR ARM CHECKING
Compare the following lengths: FM = EN.
If a differe nce i s noticed when measuring the lengths ( FM – EN), the re ar arms a re to be
replaced.
The checking operation of the rear arms is followed by a checking performed with the gauge
fixed on the arm and on the central longitudinal girder.

RAL
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.

40Carriage body checking
To straighten the vehicle body, CELETTE bench is provided with a traction arm of 10
tons, Caiman type, 250-mm stroke of the hydraulic cylinder, with rapid anchorage on any side
of the mobile bench (pict. 2).
2. CROSS BARS MODULAR SET ( CAR 502)
CELETTE bench has in its composition, five modular cross bars (pict.3), as follows:
- two front cross bars A and B (T shaped) which are always in the same position
(towards front of bench) – fig 4 .
- two straight cross bars C1 and C2 and one D cross bar (U-shaped) which may be
placed in different positions subject to the vehicle type.
The m arked figures (14…36) are engraved on t he m obile bench, every mounting being
s upplied with a drawing i ndicating the e xact position of the m odular crossbars subject to the
vehicle type.

3. TRACTION ACCESSORIES SET ( CAR 504)
CELETTE bench is equipped with a traction accessories set CAR 504, which allows the op-
erator to achieve different anchoring when a body strengthening is performed (pict. 5).
4. SET OF MZ TOWERS AND SPECIFIC SUPPORTS ( CAR 503 +CAR 507)
This kit represents a MZ system and consists of two elements: - kit of 22 MZ t owers, universal CAR 503 – (see pict. 6);
- kit of specific supports CAR 507. Each MZ tower has an arrow, which settles
its orientation on the cross bar and a MZ
reference (fig 7) Example – MZ 080, where:
MZ - measurement on OZ axle of the vehicle,
080 – MZ tower height (in mm).
In the same way as f o r COMPAC T
assembly , the arrow (1) marked on the specific
support must be oriented towards the bench
front part, as follows: -attachment on the right part of the
mobile bench; - attachment on the left part of
the mobile bench.
REMARK :
The MZ tow ers may be used also for the checking/ straightening of the carriage
bodies of other vehicles types, being then necessary the purchasing of the specific
supports for each type of vehicle.
