    4-Runner Speedometer Cable Noise

    I've got a 90 4-Runner that the speedometer cable makes sqweeking noise
    above 25 mph. I've disconnected both ends but can't see a way to remove the
    internal cable or lubricate. It also looks to be very difficult to replace
    with another due to the firewall penetration cable sleeve. Does anyone have
    any suggestions on lubricating? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thanks, Gregg

    My wife's 91 pickup does the same thing. When she took it to the dealership,
    they pulled the speedo cable and greased the fitting the cable fits into in the
    back of the speedometer itself and that took care of it for a long time. It is
    starting to sound off again so I figure on just doing it myself this time.

    There have been other posts about this same thing that you could
    search for. If you pull one end of it, you could drop some lithium
    grease (I think it was the lithium that was suggested) down that end,
    but eventually the squeak will return. I had to replace mine on my '90
    4Runner. The only hard part was getting the routing the same as
    original down to the t-case. NAPA has the cable for $17 total.
