The cable harness assembly basically has a hose hanger, a hanger stopper, a stopper bushing and a hanger fixing bolt. The hose hanger includes a body portion of a first outer diameter or width and formed with a first axial bore therethrough, and a cable portion extending from the body portion. The hanger stopper of a second outer diameter or width is smaller than the first outer diameter or width. The hanger stopper is formed with a halting piece extending from the hanger stopper and a second axial bore therethrough. The stopper bushing is sandwiched between the hose hanger and the hanger stopper and formed with a third axial bore therethrough. The stopper bushing is made of a radially expandable material and has a third outer diameter or width being normally approximate to the second outer diameter or width. The hanger fixing bolt is used for assembling the hose hanger, the hanger stopper, and the stopper bushing together by being fastened through the first axial bore of the hose hanger, the third axial bore of the stopper bushing, and the second axial bore of the hanger stopper. The third outer diameter or width of the stopper bushing increases when the fixing bolt is fastened to the second axial bore of the hanger stopper forcing the hose hanger and the hanger stopper to press against the stopper bushing. A further embodiment including a hose hanger and a stopper bushing is disclosed where the stopper bushing will rotate and skew with respect to the hose hanger while performing the fastening operation.
