Re: Throttle linkage disconnected on '89 YJ
You're kidding....
No wonder they break, planned obsolescence at it worst. If you have to
bend them, that takes the temper out of the bend and they 'will' fail
eventually. Especially if you remove them once or twice because they do
snap on and off once bent. Planned it would seem.
I would try it first without bending to see....
My failure is on the cable end, but the same part.

Re: Throttle linkage disconnected on '89 YJ
Before you go bending anything, have you tried to snap it on the ball
yet?
