Just a heads up, AVOID autozone's replacement cables at all costs. They are very cheap and don't fit. I replaced the pedal and rear left wheel cables. Had to use the grinder to make the locking pieces fit, and the spring clips just broke off (incorrect metal?) instead of compressing to lock in place.

I would suggest trying CarQuest parts out, or whatever anyone else suggests if you have to replace them. I know the dealer wants $70 - $80 a pop for these.

Cheers~

Same story with the NAPA/Raybestos cables. The spring is flimsy and it needs to be dremeled out(they have to be kidding). They barely last a year(it siezed up), not even worth to exchange for a lifetime warranty. The ones from Advance auto seem better, they are dorman part numbers.
