Detailed Description

This Dorman door hinge pin and bushing kit is built to match the original hardware used on select Nissan door hinges. It is designed for front and rear hinge service on 1987-1995 Nissan Pathfinder, front hinge service on 1995-1997 Nissan Pickup, and front hinge service on 1987-1994 Nissan D21. If your Nissan Pathfinder, Nissan Pickup, or Nissan D21 has a door that no longer lines up correctly, this replacement kit addresses the worn pivot points that affect door movement and closure.

This part cross-references Dorman - HELP 38397 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Door sag that causes the latch to sit out of alignment
• Binding or stiff door movement at the hinge
• Excessive play in worn hinge pivot points
• Poor door closure caused by hinge wear
• Misalignment on aging Nissan Pickup, Pathfinder, and D21 doors

Installation Notes and Tips

Inspect the hinge for wear before installation and compare the original pin and bushing dimensions to the replacement parts. Proper hinge support and alignment are important during service, especially on older Nissan Pathfinder, Nissan Pickup, and Nissan D21 models. Verify front or rear position against the vehicle application before ordering.
