A parking brake cable transmits the pull from the parking brake lever or pedal to the brake assembly. Signs one may need replacing include a parking brake that no longer holds, excess lever or pedal travel, a brake that drags or is slow to release, or a frayed, kinked or seized cable. If a worn cable is the cause, this Dorman brake cable replaces it. Diagnose the system before you replace any parts.
