I'm replacing the rear shock on my 2013 with an OEM shock. The new shock had Hard/Soft adjuster attached, but the cables were not in the brackets (A and B). I set the cables in place and adjusted as much slack out as I could, but even with the nuts turned as far as I can (B), I still have quite a lot of slack at the other side (A).

It works, but I fear that if I install this way, eventually one of the cables will jump track. So, is this normal and OK?

Thx
