Mercedes Classe C - Video tutorial

Model: Mercedes Classe C W204 - Years 2007-2013
Part: Suspensions
Operation: Replacement rear shock absorbers Mercedes Classe CW 204

We see in this video the instructions to be able to disassemble and replace the rear suspension on a Mercedes C-Class W204. First of all we lift the car and remove the rear wheel, unscrewing the bolts; then we unscrew the screws of the fender, removing it. At this point we are going to unscrew the suspension arm bolts and remove the plastic bulkhead; now we remove the carpeted bulkhead in the luggage compartment and unscrew the upper fixing screws of the shock absorber. We just have to remove the rear suspension and replace it with the new one, of the right type.

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.
