frame straightening
Frame straightening is a process used in auto body repair to restore a vehicle's structural integrity after it has been involved in a collision. This technique involves using specialized equipment to measure and adjust the vehicle's frame back to its original specifications. Accurate frame alignment is crucial for ensuring proper handling, safety, and performance of the vehicle.
The process typically begins with a thorough inspection of the vehicle's frame to identify any damage. Technicians then use tools like hydraulic jacks and measuring systems to pull and push the frame into the correct position. This ensures that all components, including the suspension and body panels, fit properly and function as intended.
