The pot holes are absolute hell around here and as I was walking around visually inspecting the suspension I noticed the rear upper control arm/trailing arm snapped about an inch from the mounting point (no huge deal, got one coming now after searching and finding this seems quite common)
Rear axle now has play, obviously.. so the parking brake cable snapped around the same location the control arm snapped.
Is there a replacement cable for this? does the whole cable system need to be replaced?
I swear, one thing after another.
Also while I am here so I dont need to start another thread.
Is there a part number for the trailing arm bolts that go through the frame?
I am not sure the ones in there will be useable and I would like to be prepared. Thank you for all the help!

THIS is a Superb Parking (Emergency Brake Cable) R&R Thread:


Parking (Emergency) Brake Adjustment Thread:

Pay attention to the "TV" Link that "The Roadie" Documented as a "How To Adjust The Parking Brake" in this "How To Replace the Parking Brake Cables" Thread...Same as The Emergency Brake:


Left Rear New Replacement Parking (Emergency) Brake Cable:


Right Rear New Replacement Parking (Emergency) Brake Cable:


NOTE: @Elizabetty might also be interested in these Two Threads, given her contemporary "Need To Know" some of this material information.
