Ford Focus - Video tutorial

Model: Ford Focus MK 1 - Years 1998-2004
Part: Shock absorbers
Operation: How to replace the rear shock absorbers of Ford Focus 1?

Before starting, let's get the tools specified at the beginning of the video and then let's get to work to replace the rear shock absorbers of the Ford Focus 1. Let's remove the side panels and the floor of the trunk and the rear wheel. Then we extract the fixing elements of the shock absorber and we give a clean with the wire brush and a suitable product and then we proceed to remove the shock absorber as well. This must be disconnected from the various elements connected to it because they will then be installed on the new shock absorber. We then proceed to reassemble the new shock absorber and the various parts in their place.

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.
