Fiat 500 - Video tutorial

Model: Fiat 500 312 - Years 2007-2023
Part: Shock absorbers
Operation: Replacement of car shock absorbers

The shock absorber is a system that has the purpose of damping the oscillation of the suspension of a machine. The shock absorbers take the form of a cylinder with a piston that slides inside where the outer cylinder is filled with a fluid while the piston of the rod acts on it. The machine must be lifted with a jack and the wheel (the one where you are going to operate) must be removed, then the fixing bolts are removed and the shock absorber is extracted from its seat, compressing it a little with your hands. Once this is done, you can proceed with cleaning the seat where the new shock absorber will be inserted.

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.
