Front Subframe: Testing and Inspection



Checking Frame Alignment





Inspect the frame-to-body alignment by inserting a guide pin or drill bit into the frame-to-body guide pin holes (1). If the guide pins do not fit, the frame is not correctly aligned with the body. Refer to Frame Replacement (W/L36/L67) Frame Replacement (W/LD8) in order to realign the frame.
