Non-monocoque bodywork
The chassis and bodywork must always be checked during damage diagnosis on vehicles
with non-monocoque bodywork.
It is also important here to inspect closely for damage the impact area and the areas
absorbing forces.
With these vehicles, simple inspections can already give an indication of possible
deformations.
In addition, you must check for the following for vehicles with frame structures:
Cracks in the paint on the frame welds.
Traces of deformation on frame components.
Check attachment points (silent blocks) for position changes and damage.
Changed position of rubber seals.
Fit and function of the ancillary components.
