where to put airbag wires on new a arms

When i was fitting my Inland A-Arm last night, I zip tied the airbag wires to the arm as I obviously couldn't reattach the bracket to the arm.

Is this safe, or should I take the wires off the bracket and zip tie them on? Or even still, is there a better solution then this?

What "airbag wire"? The only thing I had that came off the other stock arm was a cable I assumed had something to do with ABS (wheel speed sensor?) The airbag sensor on the drivers side is the only one I had to move temporarily,but it's under the battery tray.

I get it, I mistook that for the airbag wire, I was reading steves directions and it was late, and I was tired. As you can see, I'm only partially handy. I insisted on taking care of all this myself, however, as I wanted to know how it all worked in case of problems down the road. It's definitly helped my confidence working on my car.

So I guess it's the ABS wire I'm looking at, but I'm still wondering what the safest thing to do with it is.

I just left mine how it is, it allows the arm to cycle through it's full range of motion. Several offroad trips later, still no problems. I thought about tying it back, but everything I thought of seemed to hinder it's range of motion.

I kept the ABS wires attached to the bracket and zip-tied the bracket to the upper control arm. Even though Steve's picture doesn't clearly show it, that is how it is attached on his.
