BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Arm
Operation: Replacement of silent block oscillating arm suspension

To carry out this maintenance it would be advisable to be able to lift the car on the bridge but it may also be sufficient to position it on special stands for cars; then remove the plastic cover to access the car floor and then be able to remove the protective aluminum coating; at this point it is possible to access the two fixing pins of the silent block (it is basically an aluminum bush with a rubber damper inside and equipped with a bracket for fixing to the car frame); then unscrew the pins, remove the old bushing and insert the new one, lubricating the rubber part with spray grease.

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.
