The handbrake cable connects the lever your hand pulls to the mechanism in the rear brakes. When you pull the lever, force is transferred via this cable to the brake shoes or calipers to lock the rear wheels. They must maintain tension, flex properly, and resist abrasion, corrosion, and stretching to work reliably.

Why Replacement Matters:
•   Over time, handbrake cables can stretch, corrode, bind, or become damaged.
•   A weakened or slack cable reduces braking force, may not hold the car on an incline, or require excessive lever travel.
•   A cable that binds or is corroded may fail under load, compromising the parking brake’s safety.
•   Proper replacement restores reliable function, ensures safety, and helps the car stay stationary when parked on slopes.
