ABS K13956 Park Brake Cable

Product Overview

The ABS K13956 Park Brake Cable is a high‑performance component designed for the reliable operation of parking brakes in automotive applications. Crafted from premium steel and engineered to meet stringent ABS (Anti‑Lock Braking System) specifications, this cable delivers consistent tension and durability across a wide range of operating conditions.

Key Features

• Material Quality: Made from hardened steel with a protective coating that resists corrosion, ensuring long service life even in harsh environments.
• Precision Engineering: The cable’s diameter and tension characteristics are calibrated to match the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) specifications for a seamless fit.
• Compatibility: Designed to be interchangeable with a variety of vehicle models, particularly those from the Citroën lineup (e.g., C3 II) and other manufacturers that use the K13956 designation.
• Ease of Installation: The cable features a standardized end fitting that aligns with common parking brake housings, reducing installation time and minimizing the risk of misalignment.
• Safety Assurance: Meets or exceeds all relevant automotive safety standards, providing confidence that the parking brake will engage reliably when needed.

Technical Specifications

Installation Guide

1. Preparation: Verify that the vehicle’s parking brake system is de‑engaged and secure the car on a flat surface.
2. Removal of Existing Cable: Carefully detach the old cable from both the brake lever and the parking brake housing, noting any tension settings.
3. Installation of ABS K13956: Align the new cable’s end fitting with the parking brake housing, ensuring a snug fit. Use the provided tensioning tool to achieve the correct preload.
4. Adjustment: Test the parking brake lever to confirm smooth operation and proper engagement. Adjust tension if necessary.
5. Final Check: Inspect all connections for secure fastening and confirm that the cable does not interfere with other components.

Maintenance Tips

• Regular Inspection: Check for signs of wear, fraying, or corrosion every 10,000 km or annually.
• Lubrication: Apply a light, non‑greasy lubricant to the cable’s internal components to reduce friction.
• Storage: When not in use, store the cable in a dry environment to prevent moisture buildup.
• Replacement Interval: Replace the cable if any deformation or excessive wear is observed, as this can compromise braking performance.

Applications and Compatibility

The ABS K13956 Park Brake Cable is engineered to fit a broad spectrum of vehicles, including but not limited to:

• Citroën models such as the C3 II, where it serves as a direct replacement for OEM cables.
• Other automotive brands that utilize the K13956 designation in their brake systems.
• Custom or aftermarket setups where a reliable, high‑strength cable is required.
