ABS Cable Parking Brake K17289

The ABS Cable Parking Brake K17289 is a high‑performance component designed to provide reliable and durable braking for a wide range of vehicles. Whether you are working on a classic car, a modern sedan, or an off‑road vehicle, this cable delivers consistent force transfer from the handbrake lever to the parking brake system.

Key Features

• Precision Engineering: Each cable is manufactured using advanced extrusion techniques that ensure uniform diameter and tension throughout its length. This precision reduces wear on the braking mechanism and extends service life.
• Corrosion‑Resistant Construction: The cable core is coated with a high‑quality protective layer that resists rust, salt, and moisture. Even in harsh climates or coastal environments, the cable maintains its integrity.
• High Load Capacity: Designed to handle the demands of heavy vehicles as well as everyday passenger cars, the cable can withstand repeated use without stretching or breaking.
• Easy Installation: The cable features a standardized diameter and threading that fit most handbrake lever assemblies. Replacement is straightforward for mechanics and DIY enthusiasts alike.
• Compatibility with ABS Systems: Despite its name, the cable works seamlessly with both traditional mechanical parking brakes and modern ABS‑equipped vehicles, ensuring reliable performance across a broad spectrum of models.

Material Composition

The core of the K17289 cable is made from high‑strength steel alloy. This material offers excellent tensile strength while remaining lightweight. The outer sheath is composed of a durable polymer that protects against abrasion and environmental damage.

Installation Guide

1. Preparation: Remove the old cable by loosening the mounting bolts on the handbrake lever and the parking brake housing. Carefully detach the cable ends from their respective brackets.
2. Threading: Insert one end of the new cable into the handbrake lever’s threaded socket, ensuring it is fully seated. Tighten securely but avoid overtightening to prevent damage.
3. Routing: Guide the cable through the vehicle’s interior routing channels, taking care not to kink or bind the cable. Use a cable puller if necessary to maintain smooth tension.
4. Securing: Attach the other end of the cable to the parking brake housing using the provided brackets and bolts. Verify that all fasteners are tightened to specification.
5. Tension Adjustment: Adjust the cable tension according to the vehicle’s service manual. Proper tension ensures optimal braking performance and prevents slippage.

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect the cable regularly for signs of wear, fraying, or corrosion. Replace immediately if any damage is observed.
• Lubricate the cable with a light machine oil to reduce friction during operation. Avoid over‑lubrication, which can attract dirt and debris.
• Keep the vehicle’s interior clean to prevent dust accumulation on the cable routing paths.

Applications

The K17289 cable is suitable for:

• Passenger cars with manual parking brakes.
• Light commercial vehicles requiring reliable handbrake operation.
• Off‑road and utility vehicles where durability is paramount.
• Classic car restorations that demand authentic mechanical components.
