22350 Posted June 6, 2023 Report Share Posted June 6, 2023 Truck is back together with all new front suspension. Makes a difference. Brakes are much better with greased brake cable housings Is it possible for this spring to be weak? Also, do the 521 Rear brake cable & housing fit the 320? Quote Link to comment
Stoffregen Motorsports Posted June 6, 2023 Report Share Posted June 6, 2023 The spring can be weakened by rust, but those look fine. More likely that rust and gunk buildup inside the cable housing is causing drag. I hang the cable vertically soak the one end with penetrating oil, then work it back and forth for a long time, and spray it down and let it hang overnight for the oil to seep down inside. That may help, or may not... Quote Link to comment
