During body and frame correction, it is extremely important to firmly attach the vehicle’s body to the repair equipment. Depending upon the damage level, it is usually necessary to pull out the body from more than one direction.

Basic anchor points
While different attachment points may be necessary depending upon the damage level, the preferred attachment locations are the reinforced lifting points located under the side sills in the pinch weld area.

Auxiliary anchor points
Depending on the correction forces and direction, auxiliary anchor points may need to be added to prevent further distortion of the undamaged body parts. Because there are many different equipment and attachment designs, always consult the manufacturer of your body and frame correction equipment for their recommendations about anchoring methods and points.

When installing clamps at the pulling points, align the extended line of the pulling direction to the center of the clamp.
