Control Cables: Signs It's Time to Replace

Control cables affect how a vehicle responds. Regular visual checks help identify wear before it becomes a larger maintenance issue.

Watch for visible warning signs

  • Fraying, corrosion or damaged cable housing
  • Stiff, sticky or inconsistent operation
  • Kinks, rust or loose fittings

Replace when required

Use correctly specified replacement parts and have safety-critical work completed by a qualified technician.
