parking brake cable, best brand?

[a bum with money]

It looks like I'll have to order the front cable for my 88 MJ and my concern is correct length, sizes, differences in quality, and will there be a plug where the cable passes through rear cab hole to the equalizer bar.

I only want to order it one time, so I'm turning to our members on their recommendations.

 

thanks

I got mine from Advance Auto Parts if I remember correctly and the quality is fine there was a couple years ago never a problem

No it will not come with a rubber plug you will have to slice the plug remove it from the old cable put the new cable through the slice and then silicone it in

I bought a Crown cable on amazon for my '89 shortbed and it was a perfect fit. It included the plug, just had to fish it through and connect it at either end and it was ready to go.

Just make sure you get a cable for a longbed, p/n 52003190. The rear brake cables are the same for both SWB and LWB; the bed length difference is made up on the front cable.

appreciate the feedback. I went with the crown 52003190 from summit racing. I just can't trust product images and/or info sometimes, my speedometer cable I purchased from amazon said " It didn't fit my 88 MJ " but it was the correct one! when there are numerous brands offering the same part, I'm going to ask the club for their input every time!

I couldn't believe nobody had one here locally.
