Hyundai Elantra - Video tutorial

Model: Hyundai Elantra MK 4, HD - Years 2006-2010
Part: Steering wheel
Operation: Power steering engine flexible coupling replacement

If you hear a noise coming from the steering column, a kind of "TAC-TAC" and the steering wheel makes a small idle movement before engaging, then it is a problem of deterioration of the flexible coupling of the electric power steering motor. This is a very common defect on Hyundai models and the writer confirms it since I deal with the regeneration of electric power steering. To remedy this defect, first of all you need to remove the steering column (if you are careful not to rotate the steering wheel, you can also remove everything): then remove the plastic protections, disconnect the wiring, the joint that connects the steering column to the steering box and the steering column fixing pins. Once the steering column has been placed on the bench, remove the control unit and then the electric motor: you will find the flexible coupling rubber completely deteriorated; apply a new one (recovering it from another column, perhaps looking for a used one in self-demolition) and reassemble everything.

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.
