BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E92, E91, E90 - Years 2005-2013
Part: Shock absorbers
Operation: How to replace rear shock absorbers on BMW 320

The replacement of the rear shock absorbers is always easier to carry out than the front ones since it is not necessary to have the appropriate clamps to separate the spring from the shock absorber; to facilitate disassembly, lift the car on a lift and remove the rear wheel, apply a support jack under the suspension and unscrew the lower fixing nut; then lower the car and open the rear bonnet where you can remove the loading floor covering, the suitcase beating band and the side carpet covering to access the shock absorber dome and complete the disassembly; at this point move the bellows and the support on the new shock absorber and proceed backwards for the installation.

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.
