If you're referring to the Vanagon speedometer cable...... I recently quelled a noisy speedo with fluctuating needle by applying motorcycle chain lube to top end of cable that connects to the speedometer. After applying a little lube, I'd spin the front wheel by hand, wait, spin wheel more then repeat that process at least 6 times. I also used a drift and hammer to close up or "square up" the speedo cable hole at grease cup at wheel but I think the lube was the solution. No more noise, way way less needle fluctuation. Neil.
