Renault Trafic - Video tutorial

Model: Renault Trafic MK 2 - Years 2001-2014
Part: Shock absorbers
Operation: How to replace the shock absorbers in your car

The following guide shows us how to change the shock absorbers of our car. The shock absorbers play a leading role because they guarantee the stability of the car. To replace the shock absorbers you will need an extractor, and a specific spring presser for the car in question. We should raise the car using a jack, we will also need a screwdriver, a torque wrench and a vice. Once the car is safely raised, we should loosen the bolts and remove the shock absorbers with a puller. To reposition the new shock absorbers we should help ourselves with the telescopic spring press. The task itself is not very difficult but it does require the appropriate equipment.

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.
