Handbrake cable


Recommended Posts

Hey guys, 

I just bought a Corolla from 1993, and it has a broken handbrake cable. My mechanic told me they are not produced anymore.

Does anyone know where I could get such a cable and how many I need. I read somewhere that you need two, one for the left and one for the right side. 
I don’t have a clue about cars so thank you very much for your answers.

There will actually be three cables - one short one from the handbrake lever itself to the balance bar, then two cables from there to each rear wheel.  You should only need to replace the broken one however, but they're not just a standard off-the-shelf cable you buy or cut to length.  If you can't get one from a dealership you'll basically have to find someone wrecking the same (or similar) model.

Thanks a lot for your answer, helped me a lot. Any chance you also know which cables from which manufacturing year would fit my car?

I would assume that the cables are different between drum- and disc-rear ends, but not sure as to whether sedan/hatch/liftback ones are different from each other (considering they should be the same wheelbase I doubt it).

 

You should have an AE9x model which covers from early '89 thru until early '94
