The parking brake cables mechanically connect the lever or pedal to the rear brake mechanism, transmitting the force needed to hold the vehicle stationary.
If you notice any of the following, the part likely needs replacement:
Excessive lever or pedal travel before the parking brake engages
Uneven parking brake application (pulls to one side, or one wheel not holding)
Cable visibly frayed, seized, or corroded
Installation information
Requires adjustment per the manufacturer’s procedure after installation — check for smooth, unrestricted movement along the full cable length.
Frequently asked questions
If one cable has seized or stretched more than the other, that side won’t apply as much braking force, causing uneven engagement between the two rear wheels.
Super good! They came through with the part I needed, quickly and at a fair price! Thanks, and I definitely recommend!

I ordered a Heater Blower Motor Resistor for a Toyota Avensis. Delivery took eight days from Latvia to Ireland. I installed it, and everything works perfectly. I wish this company success.

No complaints about Evro Trans itself, everything's fine. But the delivery..... It felt like the order was being carried by turtles. 4 days from Riga to Daugavpils. Judging by the tracking, the parcel just sat somewhere behind a shed for 3 days, then they found it and delivered it the next day. I think that's why I won't be ordering there again.

Bought a front fender for my car. I liked it! After payment they sent more than 20 photos of the problem areas, and it was packed very securely - took a while to unwrap.
