Additional Information

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Dodge Charger and 2015 Dodge Charger. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Observe all cautions and warnings per the Chrysler service information. Refer to FRAME, WARNING .

Reference the Chrysler weld process chart. Refer to FRAME, SPECIFICATIONS .

Butt joint should be metal finished without thinning the base rail material or weldment. This is a cosmetic finishing process to disguise the repair and should have the surface coating (paint) duplicated as well.

Restore corrosion protection when complete with all welding operations.
