ABS K16407 Park Brake Cable

ABS K16407 Park Brake Cable

The ABS K16407 Park Brake Cable is a high‑performance component designed for the reliable operation of parking brakes in commercial and passenger vehicles, particularly those from Mercedes-Benz and Volkswagen. This cable delivers precise control, durability, and ease of installation, making it an essential part of any vehicle’s braking system.

Key Features

• Material Quality: Constructed from premium stainless steel wire with a robust outer sheath that resists corrosion, abrasion, and extreme temperatures.
• Design Precision: Engineered to match OEM specifications for Mercedes-Benz Sprinter (W906/W90) and VW LT models, ensuring seamless integration without modification.
• Flexibility & Strength: Combines high tensile strength with flexible movement, allowing the cable to withstand repeated use while maintaining smooth operation.
• Low Friction: Features a low‑friction core that reduces wear on the brake mechanism, extending service life and improving response time.
• Compatibility: Available in left, right, or dual configurations (two‑piece sets) to accommodate various vehicle layouts.

Technical Specifications

Applications and Vehicle Compatibility

The ABS K16407 Park Brake Cable is specifically engineered for:

• Mercedes-Benz Sprinter models (W906, W90 series) – both 3‑t and 4‑t variants.
• Volkswagen LT vans – including 28‑46 II and 28‑35 II configurations.
• Other commercial vehicles that use the same OEM brake architecture.

Its design ensures a perfect fit for both left and right rear parking brake assemblies, making it suitable for single or dual cable installations as required by vehicle specifications.

Installation Guide

1. Preparation: Remove the existing cable if replacing an old unit. Clean the cable housing and inspect for damage.
2. Positioning: Align the new cable with the brake lever and ensure it follows the original routing path without kinks or sharp bends.
3. Tension Adjustment: Use a calibrated tension gauge to set the correct preload, typically around 0.5–1.0 kN for most applications.
4. Securing: Fasten the cable ends with appropriate clamps or locking mechanisms as per OEM guidelines.
5. Testing: Activate the parking brake to confirm smooth operation and verify that the lever returns correctly after release.

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect the cable regularly for signs of wear, fraying, or corrosion.
• Lubricate the cable sheath with a suitable brake‑system lubricant to maintain low friction.
• Avoid excessive pulling forces that could overstress the wire core.
• Replace the cable if any deformation is observed, as this can compromise braking performance.
