Front Hub Support Revision

Model: Fiat Panda 141, MK 1 - Years 1980-2003
Part: Axle shaft

The hub support plate integrates a spherical joint that tends to wear and develop play over time: it is possible to purchase a new support plate complete with joint in the aftermarket, but to replace it, it is necessary to remove the bracket and hub completely from the vehicle. Once the bracket with the hub is on the bench, unscrew the four fixing pins of the bracket to the hub and, proceeding in reverse, install the new bracket complete with joint. It is recommended to perform the same maintenance on the other wheel to provide symmetrical stiffness to the front end.

In this video, you will see where the fuel filter is located in a Volvo XC60 and how to proceed if you need to replace it. As shown, the filter is positioned at the lower part of the engine, right between the left half-shaft and the sway bar attachment. To replace the filter, first, go underneath the vehicle, taking all necessary safety precautions. Then, using an 18mm wrench, open the drain valve and allow any water present to escape. Next, unscrew the housing, remove the old filter, insert the replacement along with a new gasket, and reassemble everything.
