369Chapter 2 Body RepairSection 1 Body Damage Forms and Requirements for RepairI. Body Damage FormsThe body damage forms are deformation caused by crash, overload, fatigue and corrosion, and tearing,
rusting, water & dust leaking.
The damage of the body is caused not only by overload, also by being often in an abnormal operating status
when the door or other parts are damaged. However, at most times, accidents like crash and turnover result
in bending and torsioning deflection because of the great overload on partial areas.
General conditions of the body damage are as follows:
1. The Front Central Is Crashed (Figure 5-13)
Figure 5-13 The Front Central Is Crashed
Because the front central is damaged by outside force, the left and right hood is usually stretched inwards;
therefore, the following are the key places to inspect.
1Nearby the left and right mounting place of the hood;
2Nearby the left and right mounting connection place of the front cross member.
3781. Material Of punching Parts
In order to improve the rigidity of the body, high-tensile steel plate is adopted in many key parts of the
body to reinforce the body on the place that force concentrates (Figure 5-22).
