Notes on Use of Checking and Straightening Bench Systems In order to guarantee exact repair of the deformed vehicle body, use checking and straightening bench systems. For more information on hydraulic straightening equipment, straightening benches, combined straightener and lifting platforms, refer to the GMiO Aftersales Workshop Equipment (Opel/Vauxhall) catalogue. Using these systems, it is not only possible to check floor frame groups for warp, but also to align directly body components and, if necessary, to position new body components and weld them in exactly. Measurement and checking points on the floor frame groups and vehicle body are represented on the Underbody Dimension Chart and on the Body Dimension Chart. Observe the user instructions and regulations of the manufacturer of the straightening system.
The following reference points on the floor frame in the Vectra-B are intended as fixing/probing points:
- Check bore, front frame (front)
- Front axle body (front)
- Check bore, front frame (centre)
- Check bore, front frame (rear)
- Front fastening, rear axle
