The first cars had a design feature that distinguishes them from most modern cars. They all had a frame to which everything they needed was attached - the engine, wheels, bodywork, steering, etc. With the passage of time and the movement of restless design thought, the frame "fused" with the body. Therefore, most modern cars have a monocoque body. Frames remained only in trucks and in real "off-road vehicles". They need them for carrying capacity and cross-country ability.
Instructions
Step 1
Therefore, in the vast majority of cars, crossovers and other urban jeeps, the chassis / frame number is identical to the body number. And in all documents accompanying the car (title, vehicle registration certificate), only the body number is present. Find out this number from the corresponding column in the vehicle passport.
Step 2
Information from the vehicle registration certificate is duplicated in the vehicle registration certificate. The chassis (frame) number is specified or missing. In this case, see the body number.
Step 3
Find out the frame number from the vehicle VIN. It must be indicated in the TCP and the vehicle registration certificate. In addition, the VIN code can be found on the car itself. There are a few places where car manufacturers often place signs with this code. Look at the driver's seat through the windshield outside the vehicle. Find the VIN code on the glass. The last 6 digits correspond to the chassis / frame number. Or look for this code under the hood, on the back of the engine compartment. If the VIN code could not be found in these places, there are still options. Look for it on the rear beam, in the trunk niche, door sills. Manufacturers choose the most reliable places for its application, which suffer the least from corrosion and possible accidents.
Step 4
Look for a resource on the Internet where you can find out the chassis number by the VIN code of the vehicle. For example, go to https://www.vinformer.su and enter the code number in the appropriate box.
Step 5
For the most accurate location of the chassis number on your vehicle, see the Owner's Manual.
