Peugeot 106 - Video tutorial

Model: Peugeot 106 MK 1 - Years 1991-2004
Part: Arm
Operation: Suspension swing arm replacement

The failure of the bushings of the oscillating arm of the suspension is a fairly frequent defect and in this case it is possible to choose to replace only the bushings (it is in fact possible to buy the repair kit in the after market) or the entire oscillating arm; to replace the arm it is necessary to lift the car on suitable car stands and remove the front wheel; at this point proceed with the disassembly of the fixing pin of the spherical head to the hub support and then move on to the other two anchor points of the arm, one of which requires the removal of the internal carpet from the driver's side in order to access the fixing pins of the plate; then proceed backwards to assemble the new arm.

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.
