Spring attached to brake line broke

Post by flygonjim »

I cannot for the life of me figure out what this thing is called, but there's a spring that was hooked on to my brake line where it runs along the frame just below the driver's door. I think it's just there to take pressure off the brake lines and add a little flexibility, but can't really confirm that anywhere online. Just wondering if anyone knows what this thing is and how important it is. I can't remember where it used to attach on the other end so it's just hangin out for now. Thanks yall

Yup that it was, thanks man. Sorry forgot to respond earlier. Ordered a new parking brake and got it installed pretty easy.
