check to see if the spring that hold tension to the 2 cables( 1 from each rear wheel..they meet up and form a Y) is either stretched or missing...it will be found in the middle of the Y hold the cables toward the rear of the car creating tension for the main cable ..the one that you adjust at the handle but turnin the half pencil size nut on the end of the cable...let me know pm me ..like it when i can help!!!!.if you can't understand what i'm suggesting ..pm me and i'll try and e-mail you a picture of it..still new on the forum and haven't grasped all the how to do this's!!good luck!!misterstyx69
