Frame and Body Mounting




Frame and Body Mounting

The frame consists of 2 steel channel rails, a front crossmember, transmission support crossmember and a rear crossmember (trailer hitch). The side rails and welded crossmembers are not replaced separately. A front frame rail repair kit (5D058 and 5D059) is available if the front rail is to be repaired.

For diagonal or X-frame checking, refer to Body Repairs. When welding is carried out on a vehicle, refer to Body Repairs.


Body Mounts

The body support mounts:

- secure the body to the frame.
- cannot reuse body support mounting fasteners. New fasteners must be installed for each fastener that has been removed or loosened.
- cannot be lubricated during body support mount installation.
