F Cable – GM (87850849)

This is a f cable from GM, factory part number 87850849. 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. Linkage rods with threaded ends are adjusted for length, so thread engagement at each end matters as much as the overall dimension.

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. Ships from our US warehouse in one to two business days, free over $59.
