Parking Brake Strut Spring PartCatalog OE Replacement Rear Spring

Description

Product Overview

The PartCatalog parking brake strut spring is engineered as a direct OE replacement for the rear parking brake lever return system. Constructed from high‑grade spring steel, the component is heat‑treated to achieve optimal tensile strength and fatigue resistance, ensuring long‑term durability under repeated compression cycles. The spring conforms to the original equipment specifications identified by part number PC‑1210285, guaranteeing a precise fit without the need for modifications. Its compact coil design occupies minimal space while delivering the necessary force to return the parking brake lever to its neutral position after each application. This balance of strength and size makes it suitable for a broad spectrum of passenger cars, light trucks, and SUVs that share the same rear brake architecture.

Usage

Designed for rear‑mounted parking brake systems, this strut spring is installed between the brake lever pivot and the chassis mounting bracket. It is ideal for both original equipment installations and aftermarket replacements during routine brake service or component refurbishment. The spring performs reliably in a variety of climates, from hot summer highways to cold winter streets, maintaining consistent tension regardless of temperature fluctuations. Vehicle owners who frequently engage the parking brake—such as those in hilly regions, urban commuters, or fleet operators—will appreciate the dependable lever return that reduces wear on adjacent components and enhances overall brake system safety.

FAQ

What vehicles are compatible with this spring?

The spring is compatible with any vehicle that uses the OEM part number PC‑1210285. Refer to the fitment chart in the image gallery to confirm compatibility with your specific make, model, and year.

Is any special tooling required for installation?

No special tools are needed. The spring is a direct replacement that bolts into the existing mounting points. Basic hand tools such as a socket set and a torque wrench are sufficient for a proper installation.

How does this spring improve parking brake performance?

By providing consistent return force, the spring ensures the parking brake lever returns to its neutral position quickly after release, reducing lever wear and preventing the brake from staying partially engaged.

What warranty does PartCatalog offer on this product?

We provide a one‑year limited warranty covering material defects and premature failure. If the spring does not meet performance expectations within the warranty period, we will replace it at no additional cost.

Can I use this spring on a front‑mounted parking brake system?

No. This spring is specifically engineered for rear‑mounted parking brake lever assemblies. Using it on a front system could result in improper fit and reduced functionality.
