Anyone know of a better e-brake cable other than the oem one? I snapped my 3rd one last night. Every one I bought I bought at the hyundai dealer so I'm wondering if they suck and there are better ones out there.

Maybe you don't need a stronger cable. Maybe you just need to work out less.

^- that or I think you might be adjusting it a little to tight. Ive never heard of that being a problem.

One I could see happening to anyone, two maybe even, but THREE, from the OEM? That has GOT to be a user problem . . . either pulling too hard, maladjustment, or living where salt eats everything . . . but I never heard of someone breaking THREE before. :unsure:

I would double check your rear brakes if you need to pull the ebrake that hard for it work.
