    1. Inspect the fitting of the related parts around the new parts before welding. This affects the appearance of the finish.

    2. Temporarily install the new parts and measure each part of the new parts in accordance with the body dimension diagram. (See the body dimensions)

    3. Make sure to attach correctly in accordance with the body dimension diagram as this part affects the front wheel alignment.

    4. Before installing a new part, apply body sealer.

      Tech Tips

      Apply body sealer in an even, continuous bead.
