Subject:slack in e-brake cable?
From:Ryan Alfonso

Guys -

Have you been under your van when the parking brake is "off".  I'm wondering
if anyone else has observed "total slack" on the left/right cables, the
junction bracket, and the rod running to the ebrake handle.  It just kinda
hangs there on my ride.  Seems it shouldn't be so.  There are springs inside
the drum that would seem to want to keep this slack under control, true?
Seriously, it's all loose and hanging there.  Doesn't feel right.  Any
ideas?  This normal?
