Dorman Products, Inc., a supplier of OE dealer replacement parts, announced today the release of 270 new replacement auto parts, including 78 aftermarket-first solutions, enabling repair professionals and vehicle owners more freedom to fix a wide range of cars and trucks.
The new parts include an upgraded aluminum engine oil filter housing (No. 926-876) designed to replace the original on over 4.2 million Jeep, Ram, Dodge, and Chrysler vehicles. Whereas the factory oil filter adapter may leak oil when its plastic housing warps from harsh underhood conditions, the new Dorman OE FIX housing is designed entirely of aluminum to help prevent the material degradation and warping that causes the original design to fail. It bolts to the engine similar to the plastic factory original but maintains its dimensional stability to help ensure much greater durability and leak-free, reliable service. It also includes the necessary gaskets for an effective repair.
Engineered and precision-manufactured in Pennsylvania, the housing is the latest result of Dorman’s substantial and continuous investment in automotive aftermarket product research, development, and tooling.
New product releases also include an aftermarket-exclusive wheel hub bolt kit for 2015 to 2020 Ford Transit model years (No. 926-128). This all-in-one, 12-pc set of torque-to-yield bolts is designed to save technicians on time since all twelve single-use bolts must be replaced during every front brake service and replacement.
Other highlights include:
- Six new blind spot modules offering coverage for late-model Ford and Lincoln cars and SUVs.
- 11 new window regulators, extending Dorman’s aftermarket-leading coverage in this safety-first, highly-engineered part category.
- 73 new blower motor resistors, direct replacement parts that are designed to match the fit and performance of the original equipment resistors.
- 15 new control arms, including 2 aftermarket-first arms for late-model Ford EcoSport SUVs and extending Dorman’s coverage in this category to late-model Audi, Toyota and Nissan vehicles.
- 31 aftermarket-exclusive drive shafts.
- Nine new air door actuators, including 7 aftermarket-first products for popular Lexus, Toyota, Honda, and Acura vehicles.
- 14 new wheel hub bearing assemblies.
