Once you've done that, cable tie the cable to the suspension arm, which should stop it moving back and forth and has the great advantage of holding it safely away from the tyre.
Just waiting on the weather ( and motivation) to change one of mine!
Hope this helps

All the P80 2WD versions I've seen so far have 2 separate cables, mine is a 99 and it's got the two separate cables as well.
A lot of the aftermarket cables are absolute bollox
