Yup. Thank you. Exactly what I was looking for. How does the old one come out. Threaded or pressure fit?

Interesting. Didn't know you could buy just the pin. Seems like an easy press out, press new one back in......hit the top of it with some color match paint so it's not bare.

These two black flex hoses I need both plastic pieces that hold it correctly. That stuff snapped as soon as I changed the plugs for the first time.

Also which bump stops do I need to replace these teraflex? Do they screw in or pressure fit? Should I also buy the crown auto or omix replacement factory front upper bumpstops?
If that is an extended TF bumpstop, I'd probably put the same thing in there. They are longer than the factory ones. Confirm what you have, but it looks like the extended one here -

Just shoves up and in, although you'd probably have to remove that spring and dig out the broken part still wedged up in the cavity.

Chrysler should be held responsible for the aluminum to steel issue. Everyone’s hinges are rusting. Who did that in the first place was probably fired but it should be a voluntarily recall for owners...

I agree. I made them repaint them after year 2 of ownership and they still turned out like this. Dealer is a joke.

thats most likely because they painted and just put the aluminum back touching the steel. Now they put spacers between it so it doesn’t happen.

seriously they should be held accountable. Wonder if any law suit can be filed but they most likely covered that in there warranty specs.

Holding them accountable for anything here is impossible. Heavy population and only 4 dealers in the area. They don't care. Line out the door everyday.
