Vehicle Diagnostics
In the body repair process, professional technician will use panel calibrator, electronic measurement systems, sheet metal repair
machines, welding machines and a variety of cutting tools such as grinding. The repair will ensure that the vehicle will be restored
to the original conditions such as geometric dimensions and performance. However, some drive system faults or installation errors
that may lead to serious consequences may not be identified in the repair process. Therefore, in addition to make the necessary
body geometry inspection, you must pay particular attention to the following components:
– Check to ensure that the steering mechanism and the steering rod can be correctly operated within the wheel turning range.
Visual inspect whether there are bent or cracked pieces.
– Check all the running gear components (such as the fork tubes, vertical arm, sliding suspension arm, steering knuckle, stabilizer
bar, body frame and the overhang), whether there are bending, distortion and cracking.
– Check whether the wheel and tire are damaged, rotating concentrically and unbalanced. Check tire tread and the sidewalls
incisions and tire pressure.
–
Check for damages in engine, gearbox and exhaust system mountings.
– Road test to make sure the vehicle's driving performance, and then deliver the vehicle to the customer.
