Wrong e-brake cable?
I am replacing the right (Part No.C93397) and left (Part No.C93347). The left one doesn't seem right though. For one the spring end that goes in the drum is much longer than the one I took off making it bulge outward to where I can't get the brake auto adjuster put back on. Also, the overall length of the cable is longer than the original. Another thing is the cable part the is actually being pulled is longer than what the passenger side is so the two don't connect well to the bracket that goes to the front cable, lop sided if you will. The passenger side cable has a "normal" length spring and fits inside the drum fine. It also locks into the drum and bracket well. Both ends had a rubber washer on each end, I left it on the drum side to take of the extra slack since the metal is thinner on the drum than on the bracket. The driver side cable however had no washers, it snapped in well on the drum but does not snap onto the bracket as the metal is too thick for it to snap in. Whats the deal? To make matters worse I had advance order another cable thinking maybe when they made it the wrong spring got put on but the spring on the other one was just as long as the one I already had. I have no clue what the problem is. Anyone know what's up?

This new cable is wrong too!!! My wife picked it up otherwise i wouldnt have even taken this one out of the store. The spring is still much longer than it should be and the end that is suppose to go into the back of the brakes is totally wrong! Has anyone else ordered these before and has a right part number?
