Cable – Ford (8a8z7e395d)

This is a cable from FORD, factory part number 8a8z7e395d. It is catalogued under Cables & Linkage > Cables.

• A cable that already feels stiff before fitting usually has a kinked conduit from storage, and forcing it will make the bind worse once installed.
• Where a cable operates a latch, the latch itself is often the real fault, so check that it moves freely before blaming the cable.
• Linkage rods with threaded ends are adjusted for length, so thread engagement at each end matters as much as the overall dimension.

A cable even a few millimetres short will not reach its bracket regardless of routing, so overall length is worth confirming before ordering.

The part number is the thing to verify. Where the old part carries no legible number, a VIN and a photograph are enough for us to identify it. Handed to the carrier within one to two business days from our US warehouse, free over $59.
