Part: Steering rods
Operation: How to replace Fiat Panda steering box gaiter

It may happen that the continuous steering cycles from end to stroke on the right to end of stroke on the left can damage the boots or bellows applied between the tie rods and the body of the steering box, especially with the aging of the rubber / plastic that compose them; It is possible to replace this cap without disassembling the box or the wheel; then lift the vehicle to have more room for maneuver and unscrew the tie rod or axial joint from the head, leaving it fixed to the hub support: the axial joint is equipped with a spherical hinge on the box side which allows free movement; once the tie rod has been separated from the head, also remove the counter nut and take out the old cover, remove any residual dirt, apply some grease and insert the new cover, fixing it with clamps and then screw the joint back to the head.

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.
