Good To Know

Q: What causes a speedometer needle to bounce? A: A frayed inner cable or dry sheath is a common cause, and replacing the cable usually settles the needle. Inspect the drive unit too if the problem continues.

Q: Is lubrication needed when fitting this cable? A: A light coat of cable lubricant during install helps the inner cable run smoothly. Refer to your service manual for the recommended procedure.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
