Parking Brake Cable
The brake system is one of the most critical parts of your vehicle as you are not able to stop your vehicle from moving without it. One of the components of most vehicle brake systems is the parking brake. Using a parking brake cable and either a hand or foot lever, activating the parking brake engages the rear brakes mechanically to hold a vehicle in place, such as on a steep hill or incline. Often referred to as an "emergency brake", If the hydraulic brake system fails, this mechanical back-up can be used, though it's not primarily designed for this type of function. Over time from use and corrosion, the parking brake cable can degrade, stretch, and break, requiring replacement.
When choosing a replacement parking brake cable, first confirm the year, make, and model of your vehicle. Next, from the remaining compatible options, choose the brake cable that meets your application needs and budget. For custom brake systems, confirm the length needed. Next confirm it will work with your brake system, either disc or drum. If available, choose construction option, such as a galvanized or stainless steel parking brake cable. Don't forget to purchase any additional items needed to complete the project such as a parking brake cable removal tool, fasteners, components, and others.
