Teleflex Steering Cable

[Scuda11]

Hi all, can you tell me what type of Teleflex steering cable this is? Old style (threaded) Safe-T®, Big-T®, or Safe-T Quick Connect? I know it is threaded, so obviously its the first one right?<br /><br />Also, what should I look for now that I have it off in regards to whether I need to replace it or not.<br /><br />

<br /><br />Thanks!

Scuda, That cable appears to have only one end. The steering head end appears to be broken off, althought is is not easy to see in the picture.<br /><br />Since the cable is 95% of the cost of the steering systems, you may as well replace the entire system. Also, I do not think you can buy replacement cables for low-cost Teleflex rack and pinyon systems.

Re: Teleflex Steering Cable

Looks like its all there to me as it looks just like the one I removed from my boat as part of my rebuild project. Mine was working very smoothly and easily when removed and I plan on reinstalling it. If yours was working, why replace it? Of course since you have it out you might want to clean and re-lube it before reinstalling. Sorry, I don't know which Teleflex system it is though.
