Wabco 8953100052 Cover

Description

This cover is a component utilized within air brake systems, specifically EBS cables. It ensures protection and proper function of these critical brake lines. Manufactured by Wabco with MPN 8953100052, this cover measures 170 x 160 x 95 mm. Its OE specification guarantees a reliable and consistent fit, and it delivers enhanced durability and performance for braking systems.

Key Features & Benefits

This cover basically protects the EBS cable and its connections from road debris, water, salt, and just general wear and tear. It’s a molded plastic piece that slides over the cable where it’s exposed, particularly near where the cable connects to the wheel end. It doesn’t do anything electrically or mechanically for the braking itself, it’s purely protective. Think of it like armor for that vital connection. The EBS cable is how the computer talks to the wheel brakes, telling them when to engage. It runs along the suspension and is exposed to a lot. The cover slides over that exposed section, keeping things shielded. It’s part of the overall air brake system, and specific to electronic brake systems.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, without it, that cable and its connections are directly exposed. Road grime, especially salt in the winter, can cause corrosion. That corrosion can eventually eat away at the wiring or connectors, leading to intermittent brake function or even a complete failure. You’ll notice if one fails, usually because you'll get warning lights and potentially reduced braking performance on that wheel. Replacing this cover is a lot cheaper and easier than dealing with a failed EBS sensor or wiring repair. You can find these easily enough; we stock a lot of EBS cable covers here, or you can check places like Fixparts Online. It's a small part, but it prevents a big headache down the road.
