Cable – GM (18033541)

The cable here is the GM part, numbered 18033541. It is catalogued under Cables & Linkage > Cables.

• Linkage rods with threaded ends are adjusted for length, so thread engagement at each end matters as much as the overall dimension.
• Genuine parts are made to the drawing the vehicle was built from, so dimensions and materials match the part being removed rather than being close to it.
• The number stamped on the old part is the only reliable identifier, since two parts can look identical and differ by a millimetre or by rotation direction.

Adjustable rods and links are set to a reference length at the factory, and matching that length before fitting saves a lot of trial and error. Where a cable operates a latch, the latch itself is often the real fault, so check that it moves freely before blaming the cable.

Match this against the part you are taking off rather than against a photo. If the number is unreadable, send us the VIN and we will confirm it. Handed to the carrier within one to two business days from our US warehouse, free over $59.
