Work like a charm.
So they're selling slotted u-clips. The slotted side slides behind the ball, and the main body wraps around the cable end to keep it in place. Cotter pins keep the clip from slipping off.

And they want $105 for 3 of these? Are you f'in kidding me?

If you can find a cheaper solution, do it. In my estimation it is the best $105 bucks (135 CDN) I've spent on the car. Not being stranded in teh middle of nowhere is good piece of mind.

PS.... the package has 4 IIRC.

I don't doubt they work. The site shows 3 clips, but even if it's 4, that's over $26 apiece for some bent steel that someone could probably replicate with some simple hand tools.
