Model: Fiat Panda 141, MK 1 - Years 1980-2003
Part: Steering rods
Operation: How to repair the steering box of the Fiat Panda

If you hear a noise coming from the front of the car while driving on the bumpy road, a sort of knock that is then transmitted to the entire steering wheel, it is likely that the sliding bushing of the steering gear rack may have worn out: it is therefore possible purchase an overhaul kit that includes, in addition to the bushings, also the rubber boots of the tie rods; therefore, once the steering box has been disassembled and placed on the bench, unhook and release the headphones, unscrew the tie rod from the passenger side and slide the rack so as to make it all go towards the driver's side and free the sliding bushing; to this eliminate any residue of the old bushing and insert the new one until it fits correctly; reassemble the tie rod and the new covers, taking care to secure them with the special metal clamps.

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.
