Parking Brakes

Parking brakes are a fundamental mechanical system that ensures your vehicle is at a full and proper stop when you leave it in a parking lot or your garage. This system can mean the difference between a car stopping and remaining firm on a steep hill or rolling downwards to the base of said hill. Also known as emergency brakes, these brakes may also be utilized when initiating a slide for drifting or overcoming the toughest turns. Parking brake systems come in a large variety to accommodate vehicles with either drum brakes or disc brakes. Vehicles that integrate rear drum brakes showcase an effortless parking brake system since the service brake shoes are also the parking brake shoes. Instead of being started by the hydraulic wheel cylinders, these shoes are activated through a series of linkages and cables triggered by a hand lever or foot pedal. Meanwhile, vehicles with rear disc brakes feature caliper motivated parking brake pads or parking brake shoes that function inside the brake rotors. The lack of use of the parking brakes may result in rusted and damaged cables and adjusters, especially on automatic transmissions.
