Cable – GM (18033057)

This is a cable from GM, factory part number 18033057. 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.

Corrosion at a mounting face is worth cleaning back before fitting anything new, because a part that sits on scale will work loose. Where a diagram shows several similar items on one assembly, the difference between them is normally length, shoulder or handedness.

Check the number on the part you are removing before ordering. If it is worn off, send the VIN and a photo and we will match it. Handed to the carrier within one to two business days from our US warehouse, free over $59.
