If the rubber damper of the wishbone suspension has failed, it is often possible to purchase just the bush from the aftermarket rather than the entire wishbone; to carry out the replacement, you must obviously remove the wishbone suspension from the vehicle and obtain a set of bushes and a threaded bar to create a sort of puller; then position the bushes and the threaded bar to press on the silentblock and extract it from its seat; proceed in the same way to insert the new one, perhaps lubricating the seat to facilitate insertion.

How to reset the tyre pressure warning light on the Kia Niro EV?

To reset the tyre pressure warning light on the Kia Niro EV, inflate the tyres until they reach the correct pressure value. This value is indicated on the sticker attached to the driver's door pillar. Once the tyres are inflated, turn on the instrument cluster to check that the warning light has completely disappeared from the display. If it is still present, you may need to drive for a few miles to ensure it disappears completely from the screen.
