was checking out my rear suspension debating on getting some adjustable arms to correct my tires going bald on the inside when i noticed this



appears to be the ebrake cable resting on one of those wheel position sensors. seems to have bent that plastic piece.


is that right?

Check the metal tubing coming down from the brakes, this one is probably bent. Don't try to bend it back: you'll break it!

It should not be like this, but it is on my '05 MCS.. Need to replace the e-brake cable on the left side now. Not a fun job, takes quite some time :(

Mine looked exactly like that. I used a zip tie to hold the cable off that plastic bar. Nothing broke everything still works as it should.
