Key Features & Benefits

This kit basically lets you fine – tune how tightly your handbrake, or parking brake, grips. It includes the cables, levers, and adjustment mechanisms needed to get everything working smoothly. Sometimes it’s just replacing worn cables, other times it’s a complete overhaul of the system to get the tension just right. It's all about making sure that brake holds firm when you need it to, and releases properly when you don’t. The handbrake is a secondary braking system, independent of your regular foot brake. It’s designed to keep your car stationary when parked, especially on a hill. It also acts as a safety net if your main brakes fail—though you obviously shouldn't rely on it for regular driving. Think of it like a backup plan. The adjustment kit ensures all the parts work together to provide that solid hold. It connects to your rear brakes, so that's where the tension is applied.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

A properly adjusted handbrake is really crucial for safety and prevents a lot of headaches. You’ll notice if it’s not working right – either it won’t hold the car at all, or it's so tight it drags on the brakes while you're driving, wearing them out prematurely. Also, if it fails inspection, that’s a problem. It’s a relatively inexpensive fix compared to the damage that could happen if your car rolls away, or if you end up needing to replace rear brake components because of constant dragging. We carry a lot of these kits at Fixparts Online, and they’re usually pretty straightforward to install if you’re comfortable with basic car maintenance.
