Peugeot 407 - Video tutorial

Model: Peugeot 407 MK 1 - Years 2004-2012
Part: Shock absorbers
Operation: Replacing the shock absorbers of your car

The guide shows you how to change the shock absorbers in your car. Shock absorbers, in any car, play a leading role because they guarantee the stability and safety of the car to always have maximum performance. To replace the shock absorbers you will need an extractor, and a spring press. We will have to raise the car using a bridge or a jack, we will also need a screwdriver, a torque wrench and a vice. Once the car is safely raised, we will have to loosen any bolts, and remove the shock absorbers with an extractor. To reposition the new shock absorbers we will have to help ourselves with a telescopic spring press.

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.
