Request
Does Ford have a front lower rail sectioning procedure available for the front lower rail?
Response
Ford does not have a sectioning procedure for the front lower rail.
Per I-CAR curriculum developed in cooperation with the vehicle maker: "Structural members are replaced according to the Ford Workshop Manual procedures. If there are no sectioning procedures available, the entire part is replaced."
Ford has a partial replacement at factory seams procedure for the front lower rail. The procedure can be found at: www.motorcraftservice.com
