This is a direct-fit parking brake (handbrake) cable manufactured as an OE Match equivalent to the Porsche reference 987 424 141 06 (replaces for 987 424 141 05 and 987 424 141 04).

The cable transfers your handbrake lever input into mechanical force at the rear brakes, helping hold the vehicle securely when parked- especially on inclines. A correctly operating cable also supports even left/right parking brake balance when adjusted properly.

Function
• Transmits handbrake lever movement to the rear parking brake mechanism
•  Maintains proper cable travel for reliable engagement and release
•  Supports accurate adjustment for secure holding force and balanced operation

Handbrake cables can stretch, corrode internally, or bind in the sheath over time - leading to weak holding force, uneven operation, or a handbrake that doesn’t release cleanly. Replacing a tired cable restores smooth movement and helps the parking brake hold securely as intended.

When to replace:
•  Handbrake travel becomes excessive or adjustment won’t hold
•  Parking brake feels uneven left-to-right
•  Cable is sticking/binding or not returning smoothly
•  Visible corrosion, fraying, or damaged outer sheath
•  During rear brake/parking brake overhaul for best results
