Buying & Fitting Guide

Accepted Answer

To ensure that you get the correct brake cable(s), it is best to check the size and shape of the one currently installed so you can compare with the listed cables. Some important information for selecting the correct brake cable is the type of cable needed; overall length, fitting position, brake type and date limitation of the unit. As car manufacturers regularly update certain peripherals and design of their models, some brake cables will only be suitable for particular models of certain years.

Question 3

Helpful Tips

Accepted Answer

The parking brake cable assembly can be made up of a few different parts that run through or beneath the vehicle. The purpose of the parking brake cable is to join the link between the parking brake control and the parking brake mechanical brake assemblies. Engaging a vehicle’s mechanical parking brake applies a high amount of tension to the parking brake cable in order to transfer mechanical force from the control assembly to the mechanical brake assembly. Over time, the integrity of the parking brake can become hindered, resulting in poor performance. If you feel that your rear braking system is not gripping as it should, we recommend having it inspected prior to a major failure or it becoming stuck in the parked position, rendering your vehicle unusable.
