driveshaft rubbing solution?

[saleener94]

I've had my driveshaft rubbing on e-brake cables and bracket ever since my tranny swap. It helped a little when I put the stock bump stop back on instead of the BBK it had. I don't remember where I saw, heard or read that aftermarket rear control arms will lift and solve this problem. Is this true or was I dreaming? If so, which control arms would be best and do they have to be adjustable?

BFH... bend the bracket back up under the car... I zip screwed mine in place and try not to use the ebarke anymore...

I bent mine back up and put 2 bolts up through it into the back console bracket, You could also use a couple of really strong self tapping metal screws.

Uhhhh

ie. leave the car in gear without the ebrake pulled. when you have to use the ebrake pull it up enough to stop the car from rolling but not all the way up to not deform the bracket... the bracket design is pretty crappy...

I do have brackets I could screw to the bottom, pulling the cables further apart, it may help in preventing the rub on the cables but on a hard bump or people in the back, it's still gonna hit and make an annoying sound. How about the control arm solution, true or not?

If the cables hit too, i bought some clamps from the local Napa and then used self tapping scres to hold my cables agains the floor board.... no more rubbing... very important to me with the aluminum DS and all...

i had the e-brake cable rubbing on the d\s tho after a gear change... only way to fix it was some very good hammer hit on the bracket and magic, no more rubbing.
