I would hold off on getting the cables just yet unless having looked at the engine end and found the sleeving damaged and potentially letting in water and dirt.

I would disconnect both ends

(label them first!!) and check they are free.

Then inspect the bushes in the ends.

I'm pretty sure the knackered one on mine was the side to side movement.

The bearings kits will only set you back

£30 ish if you need both ends.

I was gonna pull one out of my skateboard to see if they are the right size as they are cheap but didn't get around to it.

I got mine to do a banger rally across europe and was gonna sell when/if it made it back.

BUT i couldn't bring myself to after all the blood and sweat that went into getting it ready; full engine rebuild, replaced box and starter, replaced both bumpers, lots of botched wiring fixed, rebuilt calipers, replaced front sidelights, fixed horn, did some spraying on body and wheels, fitted stereo and sorted elec aeriel, replaced exhaust, replaced windscreen and i'm sure there was other stuff.

oh yeah battery and number plates
When i got back i had a new list but this time it was improvements.

So since then i have fitted turbo shocks and springs, braded brake hoses, polybushed all suspension, gearshift bushes, fitted diffrerent alarm, replaced o/s front arb mounting point

(cut out rotten metal and weld in piece from a donor), midship runabout badge and i have started to upholster another interior.

The misses wants me to get rid but i keep coming up with something else i need to do to be happy to sell it to someone
