Peugeot 207 - Video tutorial

Model: Peugeot 207 MK 1 - Years 2006-2015
Part: Shock absorbers
Operation: Replacement of front shock absorbers

Replacing the front shock absorbers on this car model is particularly laborious since the shock absorber is attached to the hub support through a circumstance collar which requires you to completely free the hub; therefore once the car has been raised, remove the front wheel, free the shock absorber from the cable glands and the connecting rod; remove from the hub the head of the oscillating arm of the suspension, that of the tie rod of the steering box and extract the semi-shaft; once the hub support has been released, unscrew the pin that tightens the collar to the shock absorber and extract it; lower the car to access the engine compartment, remove the wiper blades and remove the plastic grille under the windscreen to access the dome and remove the shock absorber support; at this point apply the clamps to the spring to be able to crush it and remove the shock absorber support from the stem; apply the bellows, spring and support to the new shock absorber and proceed in reverse for installation.

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.
