Parking Brake Adjustment Screw?

steedastang23 · January 2nd, 2012, 01:42 PM

Hey guys, i have a 2002 ford mustang GT. i want to tighten my e brake cable because i have to lift it very high to maximum so my car doesn't roll. where can i find the adjustment screw? so i can tighten it . last year i got new brake and rotors all around. so the brakes are fine. can anyone help?

Thanks.

The ebrake is self adjusting based on the wear of the rotors / pads. I'm not sure there is an adjustment.. possibly a stretched cables.

I'm sure someone else will chime in.

If i'm not mistaken, look under the car where the left and right cables join into a bridge there should be threaded rod and an adjustment nut for the lever's cable in the bridge.
