9N – 8IFRAME AND UNDERBODY
DAEWOO V–121 BL4
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
AND SYSTEM OPERATION
GENERAL BODY CONSTRUCTION
This vehicle is constructed with a unitized body which in-
corporates integral front and rear frame side rails.
The front suspension lower control arms are bolted to and
retained by supports, one each on the right and left sides.
The front suspension lower control arm supports are at-
tached to the underbody with three bolts at two locations.
The engine is bolted to the integral front side rails. The
suspension strut towers must be dimensionally correct in
relation to the remainder of the underbody in order to main-
tain specified suspension strut and caster/ camber angles.Since the individual underbody parts contribute directly to
the overall strength of the body, it is essential to observe
proper welding techniques during service repair opera-
tions. The underbody parts should be properly sealed and
rustproofed whenever body repair operations destroy or
damage the original sealing and rustproofing. When rust-
proofing critical underbody parts, use a good–quality type
of air–dry primer, such as a corrosion–resistant chromate
or an equivalent material. Combination–type primer/sur-
facers are not recommended.
ENGINE UNDER COVERS
The engine under covers are molded pieces of plastic that
serve as shields for the underside of the engine. The cov-
ers help protect the engine from small rocks, gravel and
other objects that would otherwise come into contact with
the engine during normal driving conditions.

DOOR LOCK STRIKER ADJUSTMENT
(Front Door Shown, Rear Door Similar)
The door lock striker consists of a striker with two screws
that are threaded into a tapped, floating cage plate located
in the appropriate body pillar. This floating cage plate al-
lows the striker to be easily adjusted in and out or up and
down.
The door is secured in the closed position when the door
lock fork snaps over and engages the striker.
Notice : The door lock striker is an important attaching
part that can affect the performance of vital components
and systems. It can cause major repair expenses. If re-
placement becomes necessary, the door lock striker must
be replaced by one with the same part number or with an
equivalent. Do not use a replacement part of lesser quality
or of a substitute design. The specified torque values must
be used during reassembly to ensure the proper retention
of the part.
Up/Down or In/Out Adjustment
An adjustment of the striker in the up and down or in and
out directions may be necessary for a number of reasons:
S Vehicle frame damage as the result of a collision.
S Installation of new door weatherstripping.
S Customer complaints of excessive windnoise.
S Difficulty in opening or closing the door.
To adjust the door striker in an up and down or in and out
direction, perform the following procedure:
1. The door must be properly aligned.
2. Loosen the striker screws.
3. The floating cage plate can be moved slightly using
the ends of the striker screws. Move the floating
cage plate to the desired position.
4. If proper adjustment requires that the floating cage
plate be moved more than is possible, use an elec-
tric hand drill and a 3/8–inch rotary file bit with a flat
head to enlarge the body opening in the direction
required.
Notice : It is important to use a flat–tipped drill bit to pre-
vent damage to the tapped floating cage plate. The striker
screws and the tapped floating cage plate are important
attaching parts that could affect the performance of vital
components and systems.
5. Tighten the door lock striker screws to the correct
position.
Tighten
Tighten the door lock striker screws to 24 NSm (18 lb–
ft).
