BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E92, E91, E90 - Years 2005-2013
Part: Shock absorbers
Operation: Car shock absorber replacement

If our car has traveled more than 100,000 km we should replace the shock absorbers. The latter have the function of cushioning the jolts of the vehicle. The guide shows the procedure to replace them without resorting to a trusted mechanic. We lift the left side of the car with the jack and then remove the wheel, taking care to remove all four bolts that hold it still. At this point, we will have to open the hood by operating the appropriate lever and remove all four screws that are positioned above the shock absorber. Subsequently, we also remove the two screws located on the axle shaft and in addition the one placed on the stabilizer which is parallel to the shock absorber. The shock will then come off by itself.

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.
