Instructions for Replacing the Driveshaft

Model: Dodge Caliber MK 1 - Years 2006-2012
Part: Axle shaft

Once the vehicle is raised on a lift, remove the wheel, take off the safety clip protecting the driveshaft nut, and unscrew the nut itself. Then, unscrew the retaining bolt for the wishbone ball joint and remove it from its seat; extract the driveshaft from the hub and then from the gearbox by leveraging at the joint (oil may spill from the gearbox). Insert the new driveshaft first from the gearbox side, pressing it until it locks in place, and then into the hub, tightening the previously removed bolts. Restore the gearbox oil level (the cap is located near the driveshaft).

How to Open the Boot of the Ford Ecosport

Opening the boot lid of the Ford Ecosport is a straightforward operation that greatly facilitates access when normal operation would otherwise be inconvenient. Naturally, you can open the boot using the remote/key in the same way you open the doors of the cabin. However, in some cases, you may need to open it in other ways. You will notice that there is no handle or button for manual opening in the usual positions. Instead, you will find the handle with the lock underneath at the top of the right rear light, highlighted by the chrome finish. This allows you to open the boot, which will swing open to the left.
