ISSUE:
Some vehicles may have a "rubbing" noise coming from underneath the vehicle. This may be due to the parking brake cable tunnel bracket deflecting the
parking brake cable conduits into the driveshaft.

Install two (2) rivets into the tunnel bracket to prevent deflection. Also, install a support bracket to support the parking brake cable conduits. Refer to the
following Service Procedure for details.
