Aligning Sheet Metal
- Start alignments at the fenders where the fenders
meet the front edge of the doors. Work towards the front of the vehicle.
- Align the rear edge of the fender to within 4-6 mm
(.015-0.23 in). Ensure that the fender is parallel to the door.
- Align each side of the fender to within 4-6 mm (0.16-.024 in).
- You may need to adjust the front end sheet metal as a unit under
the following conditions:
| • | It is difficult to center the hood. |
| • | The hood is out of square. |
Adjusting Sheet Metal as a Unit
