BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Suspensions
Operation: Preparation of sports suspension shock absorbers

If you intend to install a new shock absorber kit by choosing a sporty set-up with adjustable shock absorbers, it will be necessary to perform the correct setting of the shock absorbers themselves before installing them, adjusting the height position of the connecting rod attachment bracket as well as adjusting the rigidity of the shock absorber through the appropriate ring nut; finally, the support plate to be applied to the bodywork dome will also have to be adjusted; with reference to the adjustment of the suspension stiffness, it is advisable to opt for the right compromise between stability and comfort, especially if the car is also used for daily use, especially taking into consideration the state of the roads that are generally traveled.

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.
