Pulling the bodyshell
Jigs are used to check the measurements of the bodyshell. They are positioned at specified points, and are used to check the measurements indicated by the jig manufacturer for each model, or alternatively the vehicle''s own measurements given in the section ''Descriptions and Operation''.Example of a possible straightening bench configuration.General repair instructions
