djag12 Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Can anyone tell me if they are from my truck? Park brake maybe? I slammed my tailgate and they seemed to fall from the truck. I actually have two springs I found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ren Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Hmm. Those are very clean. Have you done any brake work recently? I am not sure about the spring, as it is not the right size for any brake springs, but the cable piece "could" be, except for the plastic piece on the end. Do know "where" under the MJ that they fell from? Have you hauled anything for someone recently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djag12 Posted May 11, 2009 Author Share Posted May 11, 2009 I did just have the shop put on a new Parking brake fromt the cab back. I realy only drive my MJ to once and a while. I was thinking Parking brake since it was the last thing the shop did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeepcoMJ Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 the springs look like they are from your seats to make it spring forward when you push the lever. the cable looks like a brake part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

89eliminator Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 those are from your drum brakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GirsMJ86 Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 There are springs that hang from your frame above the rear axle and holds up the emergency brake lines, make sure there is one on each the left and the right. If so then I'd second Jeepco about it being from your seat, in which case I think you have bigger issues if you are dropping stuff from inside the cab. heh The cable I have no clue on sorry. ~Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjeff87 Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 the spring is to hold the parking brake cable up, and the cable goes inside the brake drum....the round part slips over the top anchor pin and the cable routes around the back face of the rear shoe, thru a metal guide, and attaches to the end of the self-adjuster lever along with the lower brake spring. I've got a good pic somewhere of the whole assembly, let me see if I can dig it up so you can see what I'm talking about. Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjeff87 Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 this will give you an idea of where that cable lives…..see it coming off the top center anchor pin and wrapping around the guide on the back shoe in this pic: Image Not Found I don’t have a pic of how it attaches to the adjuster lever, but you can get an idea from this…..to get it all hooked back up it helps if you pull the lower spring off the lever and attach the cable to it (the lever) first, then try to stretch the spring back to the lever: Image Not Found Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
