    Hey Guys, wondering if any of you lube your control cables or is it best to leave them alone?
    I don't have any problem with them being sticky and oil attracts dirt but just wondering...

    I believe the Morse cables we get for racing are Teflon lined and don't need lubrication.

    Kinda thought so but I wanted to lube them if it was recommended while the car is apart. Thanks!

    Bad idea. I started lubimg mine and now you have to do it all the time. Oil attracts dirt which gets inside the lining and makes it stick . Wipe the ends off with a rag and leave it alone. Or make sure you carry a spare cuz I've broken one. Haven't oiled one since
