Application: engine sub-frame checking equipment Peugeot 607 I

Special tools

Checking gauge for front mountings of the front wishbone on the sub-frame (-).1107

Including

• [1] 1 frame
• [2] 2 checking yokes (left and right) with each 1 drift [2a] and 2 adjusting shims of 1,0 mm [2b]
• [3] 2 special bolts (with nuts) for mounting the steering rack housing
• [4] 2 bolt (with nuts) for rear mounting of the gauge
• [5] 4 yoke mounting bolts
• 1 instructions
• 1 side diagram for autocheck of the sub-frame
• 1 small case for storage (of yokes and bolts)

The purpose of this tooling is to determine accurately, without dismantling, whether the sub-frame needs to be replaced

It is possible to use it to check the angles of slope of the yokes (caster 1°, camber 5°) for mounting the front wishbones on the sub-frame, first one side then the other, (or both sides at the same time) which are liable to be twisted following an impact

Tools for checking the sub-frame after front impact (addition to tooling (-).1107)

The complete sub-frame checking kit ((-).1107-ZZ)

Including

• [6] 2 extensions (LH and RH)
• [7] 4 bolts for mounting extension on gauge
• [8] 2 centralising devices
• [9] 1 mounting plate
• [10] 1 threaded bush for fitting plate [9] on sub-frame
• [11] 1 checking pin

The purpose of this tooling is to determine, without dismantling, whether it is advisable to replace the sub-frame after a front impact

It enables a check to be made as to whether there is twisting of the sub-frame at the end of the chassis leg after an impact

Checking of front wishbone mountings on engine sub-frame

Repair to the vehicle

Remove

• The front wishbone(s), depending on the side (or side) to be checked
• The 2 rear bolts (1) fitting the sub-frame to the body
• The 2 nuts (2) securing the steering rack housing

Check

Position the 2 centralising pins [8] on the frame [1]

Hook the gauge on using the small chain (3)

• For the 6 cylinders on the exhaust pipe
• For the 4 cylinders on the front right-hand drive shaft arm

Pivot and position the gauge, ensuring that the centralising pins are inside the perforations of the sub-frame, and fit the sub-frame with the [4] bolts and the 2 nuts for fitting the steering rack housing (4), tightening them a moderate amount (the bolts [4] are supplied in the kit)

Position the checking yoke [2], pin with bolts [5], insert a shim 1,0 mm [2b] (nominal setting), tighten the bolts [5] and pin them with the drift [2a]

If pinning is impossible: add the second shim (set to + 1,0 mm), or remove the first one (set to - 1,0 mm),

After making these three checks, if pinning proves impossible: replace the sub-frame

Operation on sub-frame which has been removed

These checks can also be carried out by offering up the sub-frame on its own, on the gauge which has previously been laid flat

Sub-frame check after front impact

Operation on gauge

Bend the ring 90 to (A) °, in order to avoid any contact with the sub-frame

Repair to the vehicle

Remove

• The shields under the engine
• The 2 rear bolts (1) fitting the sub-frame to the body
• The mounting stud and nut (2) for the right side of the steering rack housing
• The front mounting bolt for the front sub-frame (side to be checked)

Check

Position the 2 centralising pins [8] on the frame [1]

Hook the gauge on using the small chain (3)

Pivot and position the gauge, ensuring that the centralising pins are inside the perforations of the sub-frame and mount the sub-frame using bolts [4], tightening them a moderate amount (the bolts [4] are supplied in the kit (-).1107)

Position the mounting plate [9] on the gauge and secure it using the mounting ring [10] supplied

Position the extension [6] on the gauge and secure it using the 2 bolts [7] supplied, on the side to be checked

Using the checking pin[11], place it in the sub-frame mounting hole, supported by the sub-frame
