Hey, just bought an 89 toyota 4x4 and it is making a squeeking/whining noise when i drive it, im pretty sure that it is the speedo cable. Where can i buy i new one? cant seem to find one.

 

Buy one from Toyota

 

is there anywhere else i could buy one? toyota will most likely be expensive.

 

Do you want it to work, or is all you are concerned about is how much it costs?

You have been looking for how long, trying to find the part? And you say you "can't find it anywhere". Thats not true, you CAN find it at the dealer you just don't want to pay the price. Why mess around trying to source it elsewhere, the whole time your speedo howling, instead of just fixing it and being done with it?

Try 1sttoyotaparts.com or toyotapartsales.com and order it from them for a discount.

I think that one of these may work for you if you just need the cable and a lot cheaper.If it doesn't work then its off to the dealership or the junkyard. You may try taking the speedometer out and take it apart and cleaning a lubing it. Maybe also try lubing the old cable with some of the lubricants listed in the link above. Its possible that thats your problem. good luck

 

salvage yard

 

My 95 does the same thing...so did my 85 2wd.....anyone have luck lubricating the cable?

 

Those cables won't work in our trucks.

Needs to be OEM or an aftermarket equivalent, which I am not sure they make.

 

FWIW, I bought one at NAPA a while back for my Runner .
