Operation: How to replace the front shock absorbers in the Fiat 500?

In this tutorial, we can see how to replace the front shock absorbers in the Fiat 500, a simple and quick operation that still requires good manual skills. First of all, we lift the front side of the vehicle, taking the necessary safety measures, then we open the hood and unscrew the upper fixing bolt. We then remove the wheel, disconnect the brake system tube, and unscrew the two lower fixing bolts. At this point, we separate the shock absorber from the suspension, position the replacement, and follow the reverse procedure to reassemble everything.

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.
