Dear Forum,

Does anyone else have the following problem?
My EPB Cable is chafing on the threaded stud protruding above my Stabiliser Bar Drop Link Ball Joint; the thread is literally trying to saw through the protective sleeve on the cable? It is sat on top of this stud when the suspension is at rest? I have tried adding further chafe protection and tying the cable up away from it, but to no avail?

Any suggestions, please?

 

Cut the protruding thread off with a Dremel or fit plastic or rubber hose over thread

and allow it to protrude to keep cable higher.

Use cable ties to keep cable away or a series of cable ties.

Cheers

 

they all do that let it do its thing

 

Thanks Meirion1, that's what I thought too...Just wanted to know that it is a common problem before butchery!

 

Tempting Xalty, but I have no desire to replace the EPB cable when it eventually parts!

 

Hi Esray,

I should have done a better search before I just made a very similar post on the S-Type page. You may like to read what I did to protect the cable. The description is in my post, but here is the relevant photo:

 

Thanks Roger, I did something very similar!
