Why is tension the predominant corrective force used for collision repair?
What will be an ideal response?
With few exceptions, nearly all the straightening equipment manufactured today uses tension as the principle source for applying the corrective forces. The reason is quite simple. Almost every aspect of force application can be controlled when using tension. In order to successfully apply a corrective force, four key elements or factors must be controllable: the source or base of the corrective force, the angle at which the
corrective force is applied, the direction of movement, and the routing of the energy (from anchor point to pulling point). In order to successfully direct any of the latter three elements, one must be able to select the exact location from which the pulling energy will originate.
