All parts of a car frame and body are subject to a variable degree to corrosion deterioration but their most problematic part is a body bolster. The work on technical diagnosing of cars, operated more than 22 years, has given the chance to gain an impression on the frequency of occurrence of typical malfunctions, their dislocations and the degree of corrosion damages of the frame (car models 12-532 and 12-119) and can be used for forecasting their residual resource and constructive completion.
