Less likely problem, but last time I assembled cables I had too much play and
eventually found that one cable, where it went through the trailing arm bracket, the 'C' clip was not in the groove. Didn't look obviously different, but when the cable was pulled it allowed the cable to move rather than caliper arm. |
