Parking brake sway?

[mustang_5.0]

Hi,
I just bought an 03 GT, enjoying the car very much. However, the parking brake seems odd to me, is it normal for it to have some side to side give on it? None of my other cars, or mustangs, did this. Haven't taken the center console off yet, just wanted to ask quick before diving in.

Thanks!

they go bad

mine went bad it was a 99 gt I had to replace the whole handle set up t was a very hard job you need a lift & an extra guy to get the rear spring return on the cable's its like restring a 300 lb compound bow the part I bought on e-bay for $30 its fine now when I wrote in to the site I never got one reply , there use to be more guys responding to questions asking for help as of late it seems to have gone down hill

I can wiggle mine 3/8 of an inch when it's at rest.

Thanks for getting back to me, yeah, it seems pretty dead. I'm taking the console apart tonight, hopefully it's just a bracket that is loose or something. The parking brake still works, but it needs tightening, which I'll take care of.
