Default REAR Parking Brake Orientation

THe new parking brake cable has two springs factory installed, one at each end. Does each spring go between the cable end ball (at the hinged actuator arm) and the cable guide on the frame with the white nylon "U" shaped cable protector?

Any pix?

As always, Thanks! Lee

This link shows how the spring and ball go on the lever at the wheel end.

Many of the supporting vendors have pictures of the rear brake showing the parking brake cable assembly.

This Zip one is what I used on a P-Brake rebuild.
