Mercedes Classe C - Video tutorial

Model: Mercedes Classe C W203 - Years 2000-2007
Part: Arm
Operation: Front suspension swing arm replacement

The oscillating arm of the front suspension consists of a spherical head connected to the wheel hub support and a silent blok bushing which is fixed directly to the engine cradle: both elements are subject to wear with consequent play and noise. In order to replace the oscillating arm it is necessary to lift the car on suitable stands, remove the front wheel, unscrew the nut fixing the head to the hub and extract it from its seat (giving a few blows of the hammer); then remove the plastic cover to access the fixing pin of the silent blok bushing and disassemble it, then extract the old arm and insert the new one, fixing it in reverse.

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.
