Keep your parking brake holding firmly with the Dorman - First Stop Parking Brake Cable (C93868), the mechanical link that carries the pull from the parking brake lever or pedal back to the rear brakes. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1989-1997 Ford Thunderbird, 1989-1996 Mercury Cougar, and 1990-1994 Ford Cougar, serving both the rear left and rear right positions.
Over time a parking brake cable can fray, stretch, corrode, or seize inside its housing. Signs it may need replacing include a parking brake that won't hold, a lever or pedal that travels farther than normal, or a parking brake that won't fully release. If a worn or binding cable is the cause, this replaces it; diagnose the cause first, since these symptoms can have other sources. Consult the vehicle service information for the correct routing and adjustment procedure.
