Flaky parking brake

On to the next problem-

From my inspection under the truck, the parking brake is nothing more than a very long rod with a short section of cable at the end at the rear of the vehicle.

Doesn't seem like there's a lot to go wrong, yet I experience times where the parking brake binds badly, usually after driving when the rod gets bounced around. I can hear the rod whack the underside of the truck when I pull the handle up, if the rod has shifted to the binding position . Laying under the truck, I was unable to replicate the problem while laying on the ground, but I know it'll happen again. When not bound up, the parking brake works properly and can hold the truck against the engine in FWD and RVS.

Is there something missing that supports the rod in its proper position? Anyone else experience something like this?
