Nissan Qashqai - Video tutorial

Model: Nissan Qashqai J10 - Years 2006-2014
Part: Arm
Operation: How to replace the arm of your car

The suspension arm of the car guarantees the junction between the frame and the uprights, but it can deform following a collision and, in that case, it will be necessary to replace it, in order to avoid loss of control of the vehicle. It is not a very complicated job and can also be done alone without necessarily resorting to the help of a mechanic. The guide shows how to change the suspension arm. The car will be jacked up. The stabilizing link of the arm must then be detached without making sudden movements. To do this you will need two wrenches, so as to extract the connecting rod without fear of breaking it. Once the joint has been removed, the suspension arm will be in front of us, fixed with screws. Once extracted, just take it to an authorized dealer who will be able to recommend the same piece to buy.

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.
