Ford Focus - Video tutorial

Model: Ford Focus MK 2, Focus 2 - Years 2004-2011
Part: Shock absorbers
Operation: Car shock absorber replacement

The shock absorber is a system that is intended to slow down the movement of the car's suspension and must absorb the oscillation of the wheel. 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 acts on it. First of all, the machine must be lifted with a jack so that the wheel can be removed. Once the jack is put under the wheel, the fixing bolts can be removed, gently extracting the shock absorber from its seat, compressing it with your hands, and then going to clean the heads where the new shock absorbers 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.
