Key Features

• Multiple pin and bushing sizes to match original hinge requirements
• Engineered to restore proper door alignment and function

Detailed Description

This Dorman HELP door hinge pin and bushing kit is built to match the original hardware used on many classic and late-1980s Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth platforms. The kit includes steel pins in multiple lengths and diameters, along with brass bushings sized to restore the hinge interface on vehicles such as the Dodge Dart, Dodge Charger, Dodge Challenger, Dodge D50, Plymouth Reliant, and Chrysler New Yorker. Part number 38381 is a direct-fit service solution for worn hinge components that affect door operation.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Door sag that makes closing the door difficult
• Poor latch alignment and doors that do not shut cleanly
• Excessive hinge play or looseness at the pivot point
• Uneven body gaps around the door opening
• Worn hinge hardware on front, rear, and front upper positions where listed

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify hinge pin diameter, bushing size, and door position before installation. Because fitment varies by year, make, model, and hinge location, confirm the application against the vehicle listing for your Dodge, Plymouth, or Chrysler model. Proper alignment after installation is important to restore smooth door operation and consistent latch engagement.

Quality Assurance

Dorman manufactures this kit as a replacement for original-style hinge hardware using quality components selected for reliable performance and durability. The design follows the original part requirements for the listed applications, including 1966-1989 Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth vehicles covered by the fitment data.
