Vehicle repair: How to Assemble Front Rail for Dodge 2014

This instruction show you guide on how to do front rail assemble for Dodge 2014.

1-Right Side Rail

2-Lower Radiator Crossmember

3-Left Side Rail

Steps:

Damage to the framerail , rearward of the area covered by this procedure , which is note liminated during preliminary. Structural corrections and pulls, necessitates complete rail replacement to restore the vehicle to prelosscondition.

1.Mount,measure and make structural corrections as needed.

2.Using3dimensional measuring equipment verify that dimensions have been restored.

3.Remove all components in the area of repair allowing unimpeded access for cutting and welding operations.

4.Remove bolts holding lower radiator crossmember(3) to the rail.If crossmember is to be replaced remove completely.

1-Inner Rail

2-Bracket

3-PLP(Principal Location Point)

4-Cut Line

5.Remove bracket-carefully as it will be re-used.

6.Using the Principal Location Point(PLP) hole in the bottom of the frame rail, measure 30 mm forward from center of the PLP and mark rail. Using appropriate straight edge, complete a vertical cut line on the inner and outer rail.

1-Damaged Rail tip

2-Original Rail (Un-Damaged)

7. Using a reciprocating saw or a cut-off wheel, cut through the rail and remove the damaged rail tip(1).

8. Utilize the same measuring and cutting process above to remove the rail tip from the inner rail service part.

9. Using a surface conditioning disc, remove all e-coat within 25 mm(1 in.) of the cut location of the original rail (2)

and the inner service component also deburr and slightly taper the cut edge.

10. Position and clamp the replacement inner rail(1) and confirm the proper position with measuring equipment.

11. Weld the service part into position in the sequence as follows:

· Weld inside of rail upper half

· Weld outside of rail lower half

· Clean the back sides of the above welds in preparation for welding

· Weld inside of rail lower half

· Weld outside of rail upper half

12. Roughly trim the outer rail closer plate(1) to length

13. Hold cover plate in proper position and mark top and bottom at cut location and mark. Remove plate and trim to proper dimensions, then remove e-coat within 1 inch of the cut line.

14. From the cover plate waste, cut a 19mm (3/4in.) wide strip of material and fabricate into a weld backer and tack it to the rail.

15. Install the closure plate (3) and weld: The inner rail and cover plate are welded preferably using Squeeze Type Resistance Spot Welding(STRSW) equip-

ment as the original. If STRSW is not available, then MIG ring fillet welds may be substituted.

· MIG Weld the butt-joint location.

16. Reattach bracket(3) to inner frame rail(1).

Reattach lower radiator crossmember to inner rail(1).

17. Dress the welded area and apply corrosion resistant coatings inside and out:

· Apply etch-primer to the inside of the frame rail repair area Inside the rail, inject a creeping wax based rust inhibitor compound through the existing holes in the frame ensuring

100% coverage including the space between the original frame and the reinforcing sleeve; using Mopar Cavity Wax Kit(part #68042969AA), Mopar Wax refill (part #68042970AA), or equivalent. Apply to the rail inner cavity areas in two applications with a 30-minute flash period between applications. Pay particular attention to areas which have been welded.

· Apply a durable top coat to the outside of the repair area.

18. Complete the balance of repairs.
