Damage winch cable

[shogun4x4]

I used me winch at the weekend and i notice yesterday there was some damage to the cable if u see the pic.
Now i didn't use much cable to winch me self out.The damage is right at the end just before the red paint is to warn u.

Now I've also took the bottom runner off the winch cable feed u can see the winch plate behind it.Now im i right in saying this hasn't
been cut down correct as the cable been rubbing again it so could this of cause the damage or is that ok.I no the runners are supose to turn when u winch but i did notice the middle runners wasn't very easy to turn when i had it fitted.

I've spk to the winch company i bought it from there going to replace the cable for free which is pretty good.Pretty pee off as only used it once.

the bottom roller should keep the cable away from the winch tray ..... ..and ALL the rollers should be free to spin by hand easily

looks to me like the cable has twisted. ...

it's good that the supliers are going to replace the cable .... but i find it hard to understand how the cable gotten twisted in the first place (unless the cable was weak to begin with)

I fitted new cable today which was great fun not.I made sure it was nice and tight and even so will see what happens when i use it next time.

can you see if the roller lifts the cable over the winch tray ???

Its seem to there doesn't look like any rubbing on the winch tray.
I took it back to the people who fitted it and they said its fine as well.They put it down to the wire getting snag and not enough tension on the cable.

when you wound the wire onto the drum ...did you have the wire under tension ???

[shogun4x4]

If u mean the new one then yes.When i was winching up the bog there was tension but it did slack a bit after i got traction.

If u mean the new one then yes..

the winch tray IS the problem it should be lower than that
