  1. Remove that plastic cable end and install a heim joint end on the threaded cable end. Remove the stud on the linkage arm and use a shoulder bolt to attach the heim joint end to the linkage arm. Simple, clean, and permanent.

  2. This was awesome, the only thing that concerned me was the threads on the nut. The heat and the back and forth motion might break the nut loose. So i used a 1/4" clevis pin that locks in with a cotter pin and 5 washers . A washer on each side of the cable head with some grease plus 3 washers on the cotter pin side used as spacers for a tight fit. Thanks for the inspiration you are a meshanic.

  3. 265k on my 16 Chevy spark. My bushing has finally wore completely out. Had to stop and pop it back on about 10 times the last couple nights just to get to work and back. I have 4 days and zero tools to fix it. Cab you swing by and help me out? Lunch on me! 😂😂😂
