Uni-Body, Subframe and Mounting System - Frame Inspection Transit 2000.5 (01/2000-05/2006)
General Procedures

  1. To meet the increased strength requirements, the floor assembly is designed as a torsionally and flexurally rigid frame structure.
  1. Precisely defined deformation characteristics at the front and rear due to designed buckling points, different material thicknesses and properties.
  1. The modular construction of the front elements (bolted crossmember and radiator grille opening panel) makes it easier to change these parts.
  1. Various part-panel repair procedures are possible in the frame area for increased ease of repair.
