Dorman - HELP Door Hinge Pin and Bushing Kit P/N:38381
Renew a worn front door hinge with the Dorman door hinge pin and bushing kit, part number 38488. It is designed to match the original pin and bushing and to help restore the door's alignment and proper function. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2009-2016 GMC Savana 4500, 1996-2024 Chevrolet Express 2500 and 1996-2024 Chevrolet Express 3500. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
The hinge pin is the pivot the door swings on, and the bushings take up the clearance around it. After years of opening and closing, worn pins and bushings can let the door drop or shift out of line. This Dorman door hinge repair kit may be needed if a front door sags, has noticeable up-and-down play at the hinge, or must be lifted or slammed to latch. Diagnose the cause first, because latch and striker problems can produce similar symptoms. The kit is backed by Dorman's U.S.-based product experts and more than a century of automotive experience.

What do Dorman hinge pins and bushings do on a door?
The pin is the pivot the door swings on, and the bushings fill the clearance around it. When they wear, the door can loosen and fall out of alignment.
What are signs the door hinge pins and bushings may need replacing?
A front door that sags, has up-and-down play at the hinge, or must be lifted or slammed to latch can be a sign of worn pins and bushings. Check the latch and striker too, because they can cause similar symptoms.
Is this kit a direct replacement for the original pin and bushing?
Yes. Dorman designed it to match the original pin and bushing on the listed applications. Consult the vehicle service information for the correct installation procedure.
