Video tutorial

If an accident has damaged structural elements of the vehicle chassis, such as the longitudinal member, it is essential to go to a well-equipped repair centre to carry out this replacement. First, position the car on a so-called alignment bench, which is a device capable of providing the correct references for positioning structural elements using jigs.

Once you are certain there are no serious deformations, detach the old longitudinal member and fit the new one by securing it with spot welds and continuous wire welding: this is clearly a job for professionals.
