RE: {Chrysler 300} rear brake cable issues

Thanks Bob,

Glad to know it was not me…

My old ones are not looking too good. I am going to measure the base and see if I can use a spring C-Clip in place of that funky part. Something like: https://www.mcmaster.com/98398A134/

Since they have a good groove in the cable housing that may work well. I will post it if it does.

I had the same issues. I

used an old set of originals and

forgot about it.

Has anyone else had a problem when purchasing rear drum brake cables from NAPA?

I picked up a set and when I went to place them into the hole in the backing plate, they were not only a loose fit in the hole, but the retaining clip would also pop out when wiggled and the cable would drop out of the plate.

The locking ring they use is flimsy and it appears that in manufacturing they did not peen the edges into the machines groove. One I suppose would need a special die for that. I tried to tap them to ben into the groove with a very small punch without any luck.

Anyone had this issue?
