RENAULT 8200577939 CABLE ASSY PARKING
Product Specifications
| RENAULT | 8200577939 |
The CABLE ASSY PARKING is a multi-strand steel wire rope routed through a protective outer conduit that mechanically connects the handbrake lever or pedal in the cabin to the rear brake actuating mechanism — either drum brake shoe expanders or disc brake caliper lever arms. On most vehicles the system consists of two or three cable segments: a primary cable running from the handbrake lever to an equaliser bracket under the vehicle, and two secondary rear cables running from the equaliser to each rear brake assembly. The equaliser distributes pulling force equally to both rear wheels, ensuring symmetric handbrake application regardless of which cable has more slack.
This unit — RENAULT 8200577939 — is manufactured to OEM-equivalent specifications: cable wire diameter and strand count, outer conduit diameter and end fitting geometry, nipple dimensions at the lever and brake ends, and overall cable travel length are matched to the original part. Supplied as a direct replacement for standard fitment. Available wholesale from 2.13 USD, MOQ 50 pcs, production lead time 70-115 days.
Parking brake cables corrode from the outside in — road salt and water penetrate the conduit end seals and attack the inner wire strands, causing individual strands to break progressively until the cable snaps or seizes in the conduit. A cable seized in its conduit will not release fully after the handbrake is released, causing rear brake drag, uneven tyre wear, and wheel bearing overheating. Before replacing the cable, verify the handbrake lever mechanism and equaliser bracket move freely — a seized lever or corroded equaliser pin will overload the new cable and cause premature failure.
- Release the handbrake fully and slacken the cable adjuster at the lever or equaliser to its minimum tension position before attempting to disconnect any cable end fittings. On vehicles with a threaded adjuster nut at the equaliser, wind the nut fully off to provide maximum cable slack throughout the system.
- Raise and support the vehicle on axle stands with the rear wheels hanging at full droop for maximum access to the cable routing under the floor. Photograph the full cable run, conduit clip positions, and routing through the underbody before removal — incorrect routing on reassembly causes conduit kinking and premature cable wear.
- Disconnect the cable at the rear brake end first — release the cable nipple from the brake shoe lever or caliper arm and extract the conduit from its bracket. On drum brake applications, the drum may need to be removed to access the cable-to-shoe lever connection inside the backplate.
- Release all conduit retaining clips along the underbody routing and disconnect the cable from the equaliser bracket. On three-piece cable systems, replace the failed segment only unless the primary cable or equaliser bracket shows corrosion or damage.
- Route the new cable exactly following the original path, securing all conduit clips in their original positions. Ensure the conduit is not kinked at any bend point and that sufficient slack exists at suspension articulation points — a cable routed too tightly will be placed in tension as the suspension drops, overstretching the wire.
- Install the new CABLE ASSY PARKING (RENAULT 8200577939), connect both rear brake ends, reconnect the equaliser, and adjust the handbrake at the lever or adjuster nut until the rear wheels lock firmly with 4–6 clicks of lever travel and release completely with the lever down — confirm both rear wheels rotate freely by hand before lowering the vehicle.
