BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Bushings
Operation: Replacement of the suspension arm bushings

In case of damage to the bushings of the oscillating arm of the suspension, it is possible to purchase only the spare bushings (silent blocks) rather than the entire arm. The repair will consist in extracting the old bushing from its seat and inserting the new one: it is often possible to carry out this operation without even removing the suspension from the car. Once the old bush has been removed, carefully clean and lubricate the bush seat before inserting the new one. In order to finally be able to install the new bushing, it is suggested to use an arc clamp.

Handbrake adjustment on Ford Ecosport

First remove the plastic profile at the base of the gear lever. To do this, slightly widen the side edges and carefully lift it to release it. There is no need to remove it completely, just move it forward to avoid bother. Now remove the plastic center console around the handbrake by first working from the rear to release it and lifting it until the brake lever passes. Also in this case it is not necessary to remove it completely but, paying attention to the connected cables, it can be stowed in front of the passenger seat. At this point we notice that at the base of the handbrake lever, on the front, we find a nut. By acting on it, with a 10 wrench, we can adjust the brake force, increasing it by turning the nut clockwise, or decreasing it by turning it counterclockwise. Once adjusted, the center console can be repositioned first, pressing lightly to engage it, and then the profile of the gearbox base.
