"Route the new cable exactly like the old one - no tight bends or kinks. Set the free play at the threaded adjuster, then work the throttle by hand and make sure it snaps shut on its own before you drive."
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know the cable is the problem?
Have a helper press the pedal while you watch the throttle linkage. If the pedal moves but the linkage barely follows, or the throttle does not snap back when released, the cable is stretched, binding, or frayed.
Does this fit the Sambar Truck?
Yes - the Subaru Sambar Truck KS3, KS4 (1990-1998) uses the same accelerator cable. We list the truck version separately so you can confirm fitment against your chassis code.
