C4 Frame Spec
Does anybody have the frame specification for the C4, I have an 84 that was accidented on the rear right corner. The aluminium rear impact bar was bent. I need the measurement to ensure that the frame is still straight.

Not an easy one to explain. From my 1991 factory manual and regarding the front to rear of the car locate these points
B bolt hole used for skid bracket attachment. In bottom of rail remove splash guards for access.This is near the front part of the chassis
F welded nut in hole bottom of rear rail pocket near rail drain hole.This is at the rear of the chassis
G slot and hole in bottom of rear cross member
straight line front to rear B to G 2151mm
straight line side to side F to F 991 mm
There are more marker points and data but these should show if there is a problem

Thanks,
I just remove the rear impact bar and find out that the frame is a bit bent. Nothing serious I think, I will take a lot of pictures and try to find a place to make it straight. The car goes like a charm a bit of investment won't be too bad.
Thanks again

Good day,
Thanks a lot that will help me and also the body shop were I should bring the car. The car was hit in the right quarter panel and the end of the frame is about half an inch in, the drivetrain seems ok but I will find out soon.
