ABS K17795 Park Brake Cable

ABS K17795 Park Brake Cable

The ABS K17795 Park Brake Cable is a high‑performance component designed to provide reliable and durable parking brake operation for a wide range of vehicles, including popular models such as the Opel Zafira, Chevrolet, Vauxhall, and many others. This cable is engineered with precision to ensure smooth engagement and consistent braking force, making it an essential part of any vehicle’s safety system.

Key Features

• Robust Construction: Made from premium steel wire that resists corrosion and wear, the cable maintains its integrity even under harsh driving conditions.
• Precision Tensioning: The cable is pre‑tensioned to optimal levels during manufacturing, reducing installation time and ensuring immediate functionality.
• Versatile Compatibility: Designed to fit a broad spectrum of models, the ABS K17795 works seamlessly with both front and rear parking brake systems in many passenger cars and light commercial vehicles.
• Easy Installation: Equipped with standardized fittings, the cable can be installed or replaced without specialized tools, making it ideal for DIY maintenance as well as professional service centers.
• Long‑Lasting Performance: The high‑grade steel core and protective coating provide a lifespan that outperforms many aftermarket alternatives.

Material Composition

The cable’s core consists of hardened steel wire, chosen for its exceptional tensile strength and resistance to fatigue. Surrounding the core is a multi‑layered protective sheath that shields against moisture, abrasion, and chemical exposure. This combination ensures that the cable remains functional over extended periods, even in demanding environments.

Installation Guide

1. Preparation: Remove any old or damaged cable from the vehicle’s parking brake assembly. Clean the attachment points to ensure a secure fit.
2. Attachment: Slide the new ABS K17795 cable onto the designated fittings on both the brake lever and the caliper or drum mechanism. Secure each end with the provided clamps, ensuring that no slack remains.
3. Tension Adjustment: Once attached, gently pull the brake lever to engage the parking brake fully. The cable should feel firm but not overly tight; adjust as necessary using the tensioning screw if available.
4. Testing: Activate the parking brake and verify that it holds the vehicle in place without slippage. Release the lever to confirm smooth disengagement.

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect the cable regularly for signs of wear, fraying, or corrosion, especially after exposure to road salt or heavy rain.
• Lubricate the cable’s internal components with a light machine oil to reduce friction and prolong life.
• Avoid over‑tightening during installation; excessive tension can shorten the cable’s lifespan.
