Renault Megane - Video tutorial

Model: Renault Megane Megane 2 - Years 2002-2010
Part: Arm
Operation: Steering box axial joint replacement

To replace the axial joint (better known as tie rod) of the steering box, lift the car on suitable car stands and remove the front wheel; before removing the ball head, it is suggested to loosen the lock nut on the axial joint itself; therefore unscrew the head fixing nut, extract it from the hub support and unscrew it from the tie rod by counting the number of revolutions; at this point remove the bellows fixing clamps and unscrew the tie rod from the rack paying attention to the plastic washer; then screw the new tie rod, insert the bellows fixing it with the relative clamps, screw the head by the same number of turns. At the end of the installation it is advisable to have the toe-in checked on a special test bench but firstly, you can also check the alignment of the wheels using a string as shown in the video.

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.
