Replace a worn or seized rear cable with this Dorman parking brake cable, part number C95143 from the Dorman - First Stop line. It is a direct-fit replacement for the 1976 Ford F-250 and is listed for the rear left and rear right positions. The cable carries the pull from the parking brake control to the rear brakes, applying them to help hold the truck in place when parked.
Dorman engineered and tested this cable to match the fit, function and performance of the original brake cable on specific vehicles. It pairs a corrosion-resistant design with durable materials for added strength.
- Trustworthy replacement: tested against the original cable's fit, function and performance on the vehicles it is listed for.
- Quality design: the inner cables are sheathed and lubricated for improved durability.
- Covered casings: the flexible casings are fully covered with conduit to help protect the interior cables from wear and tear.
- Tough materials: zinc-plated fittings help resist corrosion.
A parking brake cable may need replacing if the parking brake no longer holds the truck, the pedal or lever travels farther than normal, the brake is slow to release, or the cable looks frayed, kinked or corroded. If a worn or seized cable is causing the problem, this Dorman brake cable replaces it. Diagnose the system first, because adjusters and rear brake components can cause similar symptoms. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine and application details.
