Note. Before replacing part of the rear side member of the tailgate, it is necessary to check the geometric characteristics of the rear axle and the length of the tailgate diagonals at the control points using a template. If one of these checks gives an unsatisfactory result, install the body on the slipway and edit and replace the deformed part of the rear side member.
Drill out the resistance welding points securing the side member to the luggage compartment floor. Clean mating surfaces and install new part. Weld the side member to the floor by electric welding in shielding gas by welding the previously made drillings and with a continuous seam to the kerchief and towing unit. If necessary, clean the welding spots with a grinder and straighten the floor of the luggage compartment. Treat the internal cavities with liquid wax. Restore the protective coating of the bottom.
