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.

Audi A4 L4-2.0L Turbo - Check Engine Light is on - Portland, Oregon
Andrew was recommended to me from a friend who used he more than a few times. I've had Andrew out to help for different problems 3 or 4 times for my Audi. He really digs into the problem and works until it is fixed or at least diagnosed. Once it was a simple fix, he gave me the part and showed me how to replace it myself! Thanks Andrew, wish other people and services were better then expected, like you.

Audi A4 Quattro V6-3.0L - Oil or Fluid is leaking - Oakland, California
I would only recommend Your Mechanic to someone who has a driveway. I do not, so it is a little stressful using my neighbor's driveway.

Audi A4 Quattro L4-2.0L Turbo - Car is shaking or vibrating - Phoenix, Arizona
I newly purchased an Audi A4 2009 and I needed an assessment of the car. Benji knows a lot about German cars. He was able to explain the repairs so I could understand them. I appreciated his honesty and recommendations.
