What is the parking brake cable all about?

The parking brake (also known as emergency brake) cable is a steel cable that is very thin. It connects the parking brake lever to the parking brake shoes. When you activate the parking brake, the cable pulls on the parking brake shoes, which causes them to clamp onto the brake drum or rotor. If the parking brake cable gets too much slack, the parking brake won’t work, and the cable will need to be adjusted.

Keep in mind:

After adjusting the parking brake cable, the parking brake should always be tested.
When the parking cable is adjusted it should be inspected to see if it needs to be replaced.

How it's done:

Adjust parking brake cable
Check the parking brake

Our recommendation:

The brake system is the most important part of your vehicle, but sometimes the parking brake is overlooked. Your parking brake cable should be inspected during all maintenance and servicing. If you ever notice that your vehicle’s parking break isn’t working effectively or at all, then you should schedule an inspection immediately.

What are the common symptoms indicating you need to adjust the parking brake cable?

Parking brake does not work
Parking brake lever is easy to push

How important is this service?

Your parking brake shoes are connected to the parking brake lever by the parking brake cable. When you deploy the parking brake lever, the parking brake cable is pulled taut. This pulls on the parking brake shoes, and causes them to clamp on the rear brake drums or rotors. This clamping causing keeps your wheels from being able to move, and secures your car when it is parked. If the parking brake cable becomes too loose, then the tension created by pulling the parking brake lever isn’t enough to move the parking brake shoes. As a result, when you pull the parking brake lever, the parking brake will not work effectively.

Ford F-350 Super Duty V8-7.3L Turbo Diesel - Brake Rotor/Disc Replacement (Rear) - Texas City, Texas

This was work done for my Dad. He's 80 and a Heart Patient and he's SUPER anxious about EVERYTHING so imagine his worrying mind about BRAKE failure while taking himself, or my Mom to the Doctor, etc. Billy was SO professional! Kept in touch with me and even moved the appointment forward knowing how much it was stressing my Dad out not having a safe vehicle to drive. What a GREAT GUY and a GREAT Service company. As a small business owner with 20+ employee's who are constantly on the road (Home Health Care) I intend to distribute this information to ALL of them, and to all of my 100 + patient's adult children! This is such a BETTER use of resources and time...way better than going to a repair shop (and all of the hassle that goes along with that) and waiting for the cost, and the time. Billy Trant - Thumbs UP! You're an awesome mechanic and PERSON!
