The left and right front wheelhousings are available as complete assemblies.
Additionally, the front portion of the aprons and upper rail can be ordered and serviced as a partial assembly.
The front wheelhouse assembly is serviced without the form and pierced fender mounting locations. When replacing as an assembly, technicians must three-dimensionally locate fender-mounting holes and use threaded inserts for fender bolts and body shims to achieve correct height. Riv-nuts with crimping tool are available from Kent-Moore tools: Riv-nut Kit, P/N J42151-8MS.
Sectioning procedures have been developed to simplify wheelhouse repairs. Use the following guidelines to determine whether wheelhouse can be sectioned or should be replaced at factory seams.
