Drivers side E-brake cable

[eaglescout526]

Has anyone ever had any issues with this cable? Mine likes to go back to a position to where it grinds on the back side of my rim. Than being said, I unbolted the loop it is held in and moved the cable to over the gas tank corner so it is more pinched into place but it still wants to move but only moves about a millimeter. 

Second question is, was the cable over the corner of the gas tank from the factory? I dropped my gas tank in 2016 and never paid attention to such until the wheel and cable started getting shaved.

the cherokee i had did, the comanche doesn't have that issue, but my cable runs behind the tank. maybe a spring to pull it away from the wheel

I don't see any springs but I see some clips that I have never seen before anywhere. I did zipties once and it still moved. Its fine right now as its pinched by the corner of the gas tank. I wonder if its just because its 30+ years old.

Just replaced both of my rear cables last week. Part 13 on drivers side was rotted away,and cable was hanging. I just used a couple zip ties to keep it in the clear. Still don't have parking brake function even after a complete rear brake job. No rubbing issues though.

Did you adjust the equalizer nut? (The nut that holds 10 to 16)

I'm still needing to replace the front cable. I think it stretched due to the rear two being rusted solid.

Sounds possible. I know my original one snapped at the e-brake lever.

Yeah i tried the adjuster ,but gave up after 75% of its movement was used. Ordered the front cable after that.

I think only the cherokee got the springs
