WTB: 2005-09 Parking Brake Assembly

[mfergel]

Fell victim to the dreaded Parking Brake problem. Stupid Ford. Who's idea was it that an entire brake assembly would need to be replaced for a snapped $5 cable?

Rock auto has the cables and I think they'll be direct replacements!

I should have one. Won't be back close to it for a week or so though.

Cool I may have sent a PM. I keep getting database errors when sending but I know sometimes they go through.

No my box was full, sorry. If you don't here from me next Sunday, remind me please. Have a busy week ahead.

Will do. Thanks.

Just a quick question - have you pulled it apart to verify that was the side that broke? I had something similar happen on my 06. It ended up being the long cable from the driver rear brake to the T at the end of the assembly in your OP. $30 fix and a few minutes it was good to go.

I actually haven't yet. Guess I should probably do that. I just figured from a search and seeing that so many folks have had the problem and with 124,000 miles on the car I figured that was most likely where it's happening.

It feels really similar - so it could be either one. Worth a shot! it would save you some time and money for sure if you got "lucky"

Thanks. I'll try and dig under there this weekend and see if I can get a look.

Crawled under this weekend and yeah, it's the parking brake portion.

I have a good one if Billy doesn't. Just let me know.

Cool. I sent him a message yesterday but haven't heard back. Will let you know if I don't hear from him in the next couple of days.
