Operation: How a drive shaft is made

In a motor vehicle, the drive shaft is basically a shaft that transmits motion from the differential, or gearbox, to the hub of each wheel. And if the car has front-wheel drive, to allow the drive wheels to steer, the drive shaft is equipped with constant velocity joints: it is a detachable device for transmitting the rotary motion between two shafts capable of maintaining constant over time , ie independent of the shaft rotation angle, the transmission ratio. Usually the failure of a drive shaft is linked to the breaking of the crosses of the homokinetic joint.

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.
