NOTE
Because the rear side members are desigened to absorb energy
during a rear collision, care must be taken when deciding to use this
repair method. This repair is recommended only for moderate damage
to vehicle, where distortions do not extend forward of the trunk region.
If the damage is more severe, then the entire side member assembly
should be replaced at factory seams without employing this sectioning
procedure.

Refer to the body dimension chart and measure the vehicle to
determine straigthening and alignment requirements. The body must
be returned to its original dimension before beginning the repair
procedure.
