What This Cable Helps Address

• Broken or frayed speedometer cable
• Erratic or non-functioning speedometer needle
• Noise caused by a worn inner cable
• Corrosion-related cable binding
• Incorrect cable length on Ford Mustang, Bronco, and F-Series applications

Installation Notes

Verify the 35-inch length, position, and cruise control notes against the vehicle listing before installation. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, heat sources, and pinch points so the inner cable can move freely inside the housing. Confirm the speedometer head and transmission or transfer case connection points are clean and properly seated.
