Serious body damage — repair (Peugeot Partner I)

In the event of serious damage or the need to replace large areas due to oversight, entire new panels will need to be welded together. It's better to leave this to professionals. If the damage is the result of a collision, a full body alignment check is also necessary, and this can only be carried out accurately by a Peugeot/Citroen dealer using special equipment. If the body remains distorted, this is, first of all, dangerous due to the deterioration of the car's controllability. Secondly, unbalanced stresses will develop in the steering, suspension and possibly the gearbox, causing abnormal wear of the components or their complete failure. This is especially true for elements such as tires.
