Speedometer Cable: proper orientation for inner cable?

frogmikeMember

Hi all. I recently replaced my speedometer cable using a new outer housing and a new OEM inner cable after a few attempts with various vendor replacement cables (inner and outer sleeve). I put in my OEM inner cable with the retaining collar on the ZF side. It was working fine for a while but now I have a speedo needle bouncing around like crazy....even up to 180MPH with lots of noise. It's well lubed and has graceful curves when installed between the ZF and the speedo. I was wondering if it may be that the retaining collar for the inner cable should be on the speedo side. Anyone know how they came installed stock from the factory? Pic attached shows cables I received from vendors and each has the collar on different sides of the cable. One had the inner cable installed into the outer casing with the collar on the ZF side and the the other had it installed on the speedo side. Is one way the preferred method? Maybe one vendor had the inner cable installed backwards? Thanks, Mike
