You can tune your cables with a dremel tool or sand paper to your perfect specifications. We can name that "mod" after you. How about the sag mod? :tumbleweed:

They offered me a fantastic deal on this:

But I had to decline, since it's in California !! :p
Don't blame ya. Maintenance alone costs at least a Utah and North Dakota, let alone any mods.

Are the L/R specific? Swap side and see if you have the same issue.

If you ordered replacements, and one was shorter than the other, wouldn't you now have two of each the same size?

A quick search on amazon showed many options under $20, and I selected one just for the hell of it to see the description, and this was the actual photo on the listing...
