Let's see in this video how to remove and replace the rear shock absorbers of the Fiat 500, in the Abarth version; these components must be replaced as soon as you start to hear noises, especially in the cold, in the rear part, or in any case when the car begins not to absorb the rough sections. We lift the car and start removing the rear wheel; after which we unscrew the upper fixing element of our suspension, disconnecting it from the arm.

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.
