Default Steeda lower control arms - parking brake cable routing?

For those that have the Steeda billet lower control arms, how did you route the parking brake cable? I know Steeda includes zip-ties, which are used by other manufacturers of different control arms (tubular, billet, etc...)

But when I installed my Steeda lower control arms, I noticed that if I route the cables through the slots (ala the original arms), there seems to be enough slack for the cable to move with the arm. The cable itself shouldn't be moving through the slot as the parking brake cable moves within the outer sheath.

Any ideas?

The cable doesn't need to be immobilized. It goes through the slot and you zip tie it just so it doesn't bang around.

The brake cable gets routed through the slot in the arm, the zip ties are for holding everything in place, but they are not used to tie the cable to the arms.

Hope that helps.

Let me know if you need further support?

Best Regards,

TJ
