Cables & Hinges

Everything that opens and closes on a vehicle relies on a cable or a hinge. Actions like opening the doors and turning the steering wheel rely on these parts, and they can wear over time. Find cheap cables and hinges to replace broken ones here.

The cable that activates the bonnet hinge might not get used all the time, but the ones that allow a driver to open doors and steer the vehicle certainly do. As a result of extended use, it is common for these cables and hinges to wear down, lose lubrication and stop working, which means inconvenience in the best case scenario and immobility in the worst case. If the door is jamming or the steering feels clunky, a replacement cable may be the solution. It is often best to have a specialist refit it for you if you are buying it for your own car, since the cables run through very narrow and hidden cavities. If you are doing it yourself, be sure to feed the new one through by attaching it to the end of the old; if you remove the broken one first, it is very difficult to find the right gaps again with the new one.
