Nissan Qashqai - Video tutorial

Model: Nissan Qashqai J10 - Years 2006-2014
Part: Shock absorbers
Operation: Replacement of front shock absorbers

To replace the front shock absorbers, lift the car on the bridge, remove the front wheel, disconnect the connecting rod from the bracket on the shock absorber, the cable guides and unscrew the pins that secure it to the hub support; once the lower part of the shock absorber has been released, lower the car and remove the plastic grille under the windscreen (the wiper blades will have to be removed) in order to access the domes and complete the removal; at this point apply the special clamp to the spring to be able to crush it and disassemble the support from the stem; then apply the spring and the support to the new shock absorber and proceed backwards to install it on board the car.

    • Qashqai 2014-2022 - What causes the rear shock noise on the Nissan Qashqai? Read Answer

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.
