Womala Rear Hand Brake Cable 31262940 Parking Brake Cable for Volvo V40 V50 S40 C30 C70

Core Functions

• Mechanical Force Transmission: Transfers the force applied by the driver to the parking brake lever/pedal to the rear brakes. This squeezes the rear brake pads against the rotors (or shoes against drums) to create friction, holding the vehicle in place.
• Parking Safety Assurance: Maintains the parking brake’s engagement even when the vehicle is turned off (unlike the service brake, which relies on hydraulic pressure). This is critical for safe parking on inclines, preventing accidents from vehicle rolling.
• Corrosion & Wear Resistance: The outer sheath protects the inner steel cable from environmental damage, ensuring long-term smooth operation. It avoids cable seizing (due to rust) or excessive friction (which would reduce force transmission efficiency).

Compatible Vehicles

This Rear Hand Brake Cable (OE: 31262940) is tailored for the following Volvo models and their respective year ranges:

1. Even for compatible models, cable length or mounting points may differ by vehicle trim (e.g., sedan vs. hatchback) or regional specifications. Confirm fitment via your vehicle’s VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) or Volvo’s official service manual.
2. Over time, the cable may stretch slightly—regularly check the parking brake’s “free travel” (lever/pedal movement before brakes engage). If the parking brake fails to hold the vehicle, replace the cable promptly (do not rely on a worn cable).
3. When replacing, ensure the cable is routed correctly (following the original underbody path) to avoid rubbing against other components, which could cause premature wear or noise.
