Hello everyone
I just picked up an 86 4runner that has a snapped parking brake cable. Every parts source i can find has the option for left or right side parking brake cable. Mine is snapped just after the bracket on the driver side rear.
There is one sleeved cable running along the passenger side frame toward the parking brake lever. I just want to make sure that it is the left cable that i need to order and not the right cable or both cables that i need to order.
What i have closer matches the description of the minitruck parking brake cable rather the description i can find of the 4runner parking brake cable.
It looks like one cable comes off the parking brake handle and connects into the driver side parking brake after passing through that bracket, while the passenger side cable connects at that little split at the bracket and is pulled whenever the driver side cable is moved. This is just a guess though. I'm new to this truck.
Can anyone please give some insight? I need to replace this asap to pass safety inspection.
Both cables are about $40 each, but i find it hard that the little 2' section of cable could cost that much.
