Can I get a pic of the Emergency Brake ?

dedgar · Apr 25, 2021

I think my emergency brake cable is messed up a bit underneath. Particularly the passenger side. Can anyone take a pic where it's suppose to be attached to the frame and such? thanks

It doesn't attach to the frame. Read this page & the NEXT few:

More so the back wheel passenger side

No doubt it's wrong, but I connected mine to the leaf spring, then to the frame, and then one of the bed support rails.

The melted insulation is from when my muffler blew up, isn't actually getting that hot.

thanks. Its tough to read but looks like it goes through some metal piece on the other side of the leaf?

I think I have mine set up like OEM. The passenger side cable goes through the loop on the exhaust hanger on its way to the driver side. The driveshaft obscures it a bit in the picture.

No, it's clearly shown going UNDER the Left leaf pack. The Right pack isn't shown in the diagram, so IDK, but I assume it went under that one, too.

I'm not sure. I found other posts suggesting that the cables should route above the leaf springs to avoid situations where flexing the suspension would place tension on the cables. With no suspension lift and one inch body lift, I found the stock sized cables to be too short. I replaced both of the rear cables with the longer ones sold for lifted Broncos.
