Saturn LS1 Hood Cable
The Saturn LS1 Hood Cable makes it easy for drivers to pop the hood with a single pull, allowing for quick access to the engine. One of those hidden away inside the fenders or radiator supports, this Hood Cable attaches the cabin release handle to a junction block. Then, two shorter lines run to each latch. This way, both sides unlatch together. This allows a little tug on the lever to convert into a strong pull on the latch arm. Thus, the spring tension that locks the panel while cruising will get overcome. The early Saturn sedans were equipped with a single Hood Cable that ran straight to a center latch. In the LS1, the design was split, which lowered friction levels and eased adjustments. Other than that routing change, the materials and attachment points are the same familiar steel wire encased in a protective sleeve. Moisture gets in when grit from the road or age cracks the outer jacket, and the hood fails to open because the Hood Cable corrodes or stretches. Detecting a slow lever in time allows owners to install a new Hood Cable and keep their Saturn LS1 dependable.
Each OEM Saturn LS1 Hood Cable we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.
