1970-1971 Mopar A/B/E-Body Seat Release Cable Set - Quality Restoration Components

When the front bucket seat in a 1970 or 1971 Mopar will not slide forward or back, or the adjuster lever flops loose with no effect, the release cable underneath is usually stretched, frayed or broken. This set replaces both cables with reproductions made to factory specifications, so the seat track latches release and lock again the way they did when the car was new. The driver side cable measures 11 inches and the passenger side measures 13-1/8 inches, matching the different lengths Chrysler used on each seat.

Applications

The same cable set was used on bucket seats across the 1970-71 A, B and E-body lines. That includes the Challenger, Charger, Coronet and Dart, the Barracuda and 'Cuda, and the Belvedere, Duster, GTX, Road Runner, Satellite and Valiant, plus the 1971 Scamp and 1970 Superbird. If your car has bench seats, check the release mechanism before ordering, since these cables are listed for bucket seats.

Installation

Replacing the cables is easiest with the seat out of the car and turned upside down on a bench. Note how the old cable is routed between the adjuster handle and the track latch, then connect the new cable the same way and check that the latch releases fully and snaps back into its detents. No modifications are required, and it is a good time to clean and lubricate the seat tracks while they are accessible.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are the two cables different lengths?
The driver and passenger seat tracks are laid out differently, so the left cable is 11 inches and the right cable is 13-1/8 inches. Install the shorter cable on the driver seat and the longer one on the passenger seat.

Does the set include both sides?
Yes, you get one driver side and one passenger side cable. That covers both front bucket seats in one order.

Will these fit my 1972 car?
The set is listed for 1970 and 1971 A, B and E-body cars only. Contact us with your seat and track details if you have a 1972 or later car and want to compare.
