Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the 51.0-inch length, end styles, and adjustable design against the original cable before installation. Confirm the vehicle’s year, make, model, and any listed notes such as GM Brake Code J55, HD Power Brakes, or Special Equipment Option before ordering. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, heat sources, and moving suspension or drivetrain components.
