F Cable – GM (42853375)

This is a f cable from GM, factory part number 42853375. It is catalogued under Cables & Linkage > Cables.

• Corrosion at a mounting face is worth cleaning back before fitting anything new, because a part that sits on scale will work loose.
• Torque figures belong to the fastener and the joint rather than to the part, so the factory procedure is the reference rather than a general rule.
• A part that fails early usually points at an installation fault or a worn component nearby rather than at the part itself.

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. 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.

Worth checking against the original before fitting. If you cannot read the number, we can match it from the VIN. Handed to the carrier within one to two business days from our US warehouse, free over $59.
