Mercedes Classe C - Video tutorial

Model: Mercedes Classe C W203 - Years 2000-2007
Part: Anti roll bar
Operation: Replacement of stabilizer bar rubber pads

The stabilizer or anti-roll bar is fixed with support rubbers that allow to dampen vibrations: over time these rubbers tend to deteriorate until they tear and no longer guarantee the correct support, also generating noise especially when driving on uneven surfaces; the replacement of these rubbers is very simple and does not require special precautions; the ideal would be to lift the car on the bridge but also some stands are sufficient; once the car has been raised and the front wheel removed, unscrew the nuts of the rubber fixing bracket, extract the old one and insert the new one, lubricating it, then fixing it with the relative bracket.

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.
