Nissan Qashqai - Video tutorial

Model: Nissan Qashqai J10 - Years 2006-2014
Part: Shock absorbers
Operation: How to replace the shock absorber on Nissan Qashqai

How to remove and replace the front shock absorber on Nissan Qashqai? We lift the bonnet and put it in safety; unscrew the locking pins of the shock absorber with a special socket wrench, lift the car onto a column bridge and remove the front wheel. Unscrew the locking pins of the shock absorber to the wheel hub with a socket wrench (remove the brake circuit tubes with a screwdriver). Unscrew the pins on the side, remove the shock absorber from its housing (place a support support under the bar). Let's compare the old piece with the new one and get ready for assembly. We mount the new shock absorber on the car by working backwards.

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.
