ACDelco Parking Brake Strut
ACDelco Parking Brake Struts: OE Engineering You Can Trust
When it comes to the parking brake system, every component in the linkage chain matters — and the parking brake strut is no exception. This small but critical lever and strut assembly transfers the mechanical force from the parking brake cable to the brake shoes, keeping the rear drum brakes firmly engaged whenever the vehicle is parked. A worn or broken strut can render the entire parking brake inoperative, making timely replacement essential for safety and compliance. Browse the full Parking Brake Strut category to explore all available fitments.
ACDelco is one of the most trusted names in OE-quality brake components, and their parking brake struts reflect that heritage. ACDelco is the premier supplier of GM Original Equipment automotive replacement parts, while also serving as a trusted provider of premium aftermarket parts for most other makes and models. That dual role means a single ACDelco parking brake strut is engineered to satisfy the exacting standards of General Motors engineering while still delivering confident fitment across a wide range of domestic and import vehicles.
ACDelco's Tiered Product Lines for Every Need
One of the defining strengths of ACDelco's brake parts lineup is a clearly structured, tiered product portfolio. ACDelco offers GM Original Equipment parts — the true OE components designed and validated by General Motors — alongside the Gold and Silver aftermarket lines. Gold parts are manufactured to meet expectations for fit, form, and function, making them a smart choice for GM vehicles and many other makes and models. Silver parts deliver a high-quality, high-value option for budget-conscious repairs on GM and non-GM vehicles alike. This means whether you're restoring a Chevy Silverado to factory spec or servicing a fleet of mixed-make vehicles, there's an ACDelco parking brake strut tier suited to the job.
Specific ACDelco parking brake strut offerings include rear parking brake lever and strut assemblies — such as the well-regarded 179-series rear parking brake lever with struts — designed as direct-fit replacements that require no modification during installation. ACDelco also produces associated hardware like actuator lever strut springs and complete parking brake hardware kits, giving technicians everything they need to perform a thorough brake service in a single order.
