Looked under my car after having new lower control arms installed and there is a hanging cable underneath in the center of car behind drivers' side
Any ideas what it is?
Thanks

Hi,

Follow it and see if it goes to the parking brakes. I believe it is a brake cable, but it's hard to tell for sure.

I attached the only pic I could find. See if it runs from the center near the park brake lever and then back toward the rear.

Let me know.

Joe

Alex,

No, I didn't get the other response, but no problem. I never would have thought it was the O2 sensor wire. Good Lord!

Regardless, were you able to take care of it?
