Volkswagen Jetta - Video tutorial

Model: Volkswagen Jetta MK 4, A4 - Years 1998-2005
Part: Arm
Operation: Replacement of the suspension arm

The suspension arm guarantees the junction between the frame and the uprights. Its wear can lead to a loss of control of the vehicle. Replacing it is not a complicated job but it must be done in a workmanlike manner and in total safety. To start the operation, the car must be lifted off the ground. Unscrew the bolts with the appropriate wrench and extract the wheel from the hub. The stabilizer link must then be detached from the arm and extracted without breaking it. The last step is to remove the suspension joint, always with the help of the key. Once the joint has been removed, the arm can be extracted.

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.
