- If it's not broken Don't Fix It!
My issue is that my right side rear cable is rubbing on the leaf springs and shock. (see pics) Now because I have been doing work on this section of the truck I would like to put it back to its stock installation position/ish. I'm not sure the of way the factory route this particular cable. Right now the cable comes clip at the diff to behind the shock (rubbing on it actually) , rear of the vehicle, to sweeping forward out under the spring, where it is very obvious the spring has cut into the cable casing, and making a tight-ish sweeping bend back towards the rear of the vehicle to enter the backing plate.
(EDITED to fix pictures not showing.)
I'm thinking the cable was replaced, possibly the shocks and the cable wasn't routed properly. I did try the cable in front of the shock but it rubbed on the front of the shock so I put it the way it was when I got it and am now inquiring here as to how the factory routed this side cable so I can stop the rubbing. What side of the shock did the factory route the original cable, front or back?
