Post by Snake93 »

Having a problem with Brake handle when I let it down it tends to let down to the left n rub the side of the console is there any way to tighten it up so it will let down straight?

I think the spring in the handle ends up getting some play in it letting it lag to the left toward the drivers seat. Pretty common issue I have seen with these cars and GT's and LX's.

A lot of people would keep a drink wedged in between the handle and the passenger seat..... I could see that bending the handle out of whack and towards the driver seat. :lol:

Is it rubbing the console or just the rubber piece? They sell replacement seals if it is damaged. Kinda a PIA to replace since they plastic welded it to the console.

Just pull it out, and look it over, i believe a 94 - 04 brake assembly will work, if you can't fix yours
