Measuring and alignment systems are to be used to ensure accurate repair of a deformed body structure.

These systems make is possible to not only check the frame floor groups for dimensional accuracy, but also to align body components directly and, if necessary, secure and weld in place new body parts at the right size.

Saab recommends use of measuring and alignment systems from the following manufacturers:

Blackhawk
Carbench
Celette
Car-O-Liner

The measurement and control points for the frame body group and body structure are found in the vehicle-specific measurement data sheet from the measuring and alignment system manufacturer. Follow the operating instructions and regulations of the system manufacturer.
