ADG04608 Blue Print Brake Cable

This cable is pretty straightforward. It physically connects your handbrake lever – that’s the one you pull up in the car – to the braking mechanism at the rear wheels. When you pull the lever, it pulls on the cable, which then activates the brakes on those rear wheels, holding the car in place. Some vehicles use one cable, some use two, depending on how the rear brakes are set up. Essentially, it’s your emergency and parking brake. It's a mechanical backup to your main hydraulic brakes. It's also important for keeping the car stationary when you’re parked on a hill. It’s a direct mechanical link, so it bypasses the hydraulic system entirely. Well, safety is the big one. If this cable breaks or stretches too much, you could find your parking brake won’t hold, especially on an incline – that's a really dangerous situation. You’ll notice if it’s starting to go because the handbrake lever might feel really loose, or you might have to pull it up much further than usual to get it to hold. A stretched or frayed cable also can affect how evenly the rear brakes engage, potentially leading to pulling when braking or uneven wear on the brake shoes or pads. You can find replacements pretty easily; Fixparts Online usually has a good selection, and it’s a pretty simple repair, but definitely something you want to address right away if you suspect a problem. We’ve got your back: Handbrake Cable (MPN ADG04608) is covered for 12 months!
