  You may want to take it out for a look. One likely source of binding and 
  noise is that some of the strands of the cable may be already broken and
  getting "tangled" in the guide tube. I don't know how hard it is to change
  the cable in a Vanagon or how much they cost, but I'll bet it's more 
  convenient to change it at home then have it break on the road somewhere.
