BMW THROTTLE CABLE BUSHINGS - BILLET ALUMINUM

With age, the factory Throttle Cable Bushing gets soft and spongy or cracks letting the throttle cable sag. The throttle response gets worse since the cable must first straighten up before it starts to move the throttle plate. Replacing the worn bushings with the billet aluminum bushings eliminates cable sag to give a crisp throttle response.

INSTRUCTIONS

Quick Tip: Its easier to replace the bushings if you remove the throttle body from the intake manifold

Step 1: Unhook the throttle cable from the throttle body

Step 2: Unscrew the throttle cable from the factory bushing and carefully cut the old bushing off the cable

Step 3: Put the throttle cable through the slot on the aluminum bushing.

Step 4: Put the aluminum bushing through the throttle cable bushing bracket and secure it with the snap-ring provided

Step 5: Reinstall the throttle cable back on the throttle body and install it back on the intake manifold.

Step 6: Adjust the tension on the throttle cable till it's tight but still allows the throttle body to close without interference.
