Is a paring brake required if the service brakes work proper?
The parking brake on most vehicles uses a cable to operate part of the service brake to prevent the vehicle from moving while parked. In some instances the parking brake cable can stretch/break/freeze and not allow the cable to engage the service brake component (shoe or caliper).Mostly if the parking brake does not work, you can drive the vehicle normally and the brakes work fine. Possibly a parking brake may be partially engaged causing the shoe or pad of one or two wheels to be in contact with the rotor or drum causing drag.
