Front wheel arch

Replacing this part is an additional operation to the reinforcement and fender side panel, combined with the engine mount, for the right-hand side only, or with the partial replacement of the front side member for a frontal impact.

Information on related parts is covered in their respective sections (see contents).

Note: If the spot welds cannot be made with the spot welder, they may be replaced with plug welds.

For this operation, use of the straightening bench is essential.
