Ford Focus - Video tutorial

Model: Ford Focus MK 1 - Years 1998-2004
Part: Anti roll bar
Operation: Replacement stabilizer bar links

The stabilizer or anti-roll bar is connected to the front suspension through rods, called connecting rods, at the ends of which there are spherical heads: these heads tend to wear out and become noisy. Their replacement is extremely simple, in fact it is enough to unscrew the fixing nuts of the spherical hinge stem while keeping the axle fixed using a hex wrench (to unscrew the part fixed to the shock absorber it is necessary to remove the front wheel); once the connecting rod has been removed, simply replace it with the new one and tighten the fixing nuts in the same way.

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.
