If you have arrived at this page, you have probably noticed that the ride has become unstable, with uneven terrain causing noise, tyre squeal, or uneven tyre wear. This is a job you can do yourself, especially by following this brief guide.

Lift the vehicle, ensure you are working safely, and remove the wheel. Undo the bolts, one towards the brake disc and the other two towards the engine.

You can then free the worn part from its seat. Now insert the new replacement, taking care not to damage the bushes.

Before tightening the bolts, it is good practice to pressurise the dampers to at least 50% of their travel. Refit the wheel and check the alignment.

How to Reset the Tire Pressure Light on a MG ZS?

On the instrument cluster of the MG ZS, the tire pressure light that appears can be reset by inflating the tires to the correct pressure: this value will be indicated on the sticker attached to the driver's door pillar. Once the tires have been properly inflated, you can turn on the instrument cluster and navigate through the menu until you find the option that indicates tire pressure: if this screen shows the new values, the light will turn off; otherwise, you will need to drive for a few miles so that the sensors can read the new values and turn off the light afterward.
