Car handbrake cables act as the link between the handbrake lever in the cabin and the brake mechanism on the wheels. When you pull the handbrake lever, the cables tighten, applying pressure to the brake mechanism, which in turn engages the parking brake. This prevents your vehicle from rolling when parked on inclines or flat surfaces, providing an extra level of safety.
Over time, handbrake cables can wear out due to constant use, exposure to the elements, or corrosion. If the handbrake doesn’t work or the car doesn’t brake entirely when the handbrake is engaged, you may need a handbrake cable replacement. To find the right replacement for your car, simply enter your vehicle’s make and model or registration number to get the right component.
