Operation: How to replace the rear shock absorbers of the Ford Focus.

In today's video, we will see a maintenance operation that you can perform independently and will allow you to save a considerable amount of money. Specifically, how to replace the rear shock absorbers of a Ford Focus. First, we proceed by lifting the vehicle on the lift, in order to easily intervene. We remove the tire on the side where we need to work to have more space. We then proceed to remove the shock absorber by extracting the fastening components. We then insert the new unit, with all its components, and then we finish the job.

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.
