What you should know about Chrysler

To identify the right Chrysler part in South Africa, confirm the vehicle's year, model, trim, and whether the required part is left or right side. Double-check plug types, mounting points, and compare part numbers for precise matches. Missteps often come from overlooking year range changes or picking the wrong side.

Always check your Chrysler's VIN, year, and trim before purchasing any part.Left vs right side parts are not interchangeable – visualise from the driver's seat (SA models are right-hand-drive).Connector plugs and mounting points often differ between models and facelifts, even within the same year range.Use verified part numbers and request additional info or images via the Brits Bros online form if unsure.

Fitment checks before you buy

Confirm left or right by standing in the driver's seat (right-hand-drive in SA).

Match the part number stamped or labelled on your original Chrysler part.

Verify all plug shapes and pin counts for sensors, injectors, or remote keys.

Compare mounting points and physical dimensions using product images or part diagrams.

Clarify your vehicle's trim and engine type; many parts differ between Limited, Touring, and SRT models.

What affects the price

Condition and age: Refurbished or tested used Chrysler parts command a premium.

Trim or engine specifics: Turbo, diesel, and top-variant components often cost more.

Rarity and demand: Discontinued or hard-to-find Chrysler parts usually have higher prices.

Verified match (OEM number): Parts with full match guarantees or clear part numbers hold more value.

Common buying mistakes

Assuming left/right sides are the same as European or American listings (South Africa is right-hand-drive).

Overlooking small differences in plug shapes or mounting points on items like keys and sensors.

Ordering by model year only, neglecting mid-year or facelift part changes.

Ignoring the importance of trim or market variant – Limited, Touring, SRT or export models often have different specs.

1. Decoding Left vs Right on South African Chrysler Models

South Africa’s Chrysler vehicles are right-hand-drive, so always determine left/right from the driver’s seat perspective. Left (passenger side) and right (driver side) parts are rarely interchangeable. This is critical for headlights, mirrors, doors, and even sensors such as the Crankshaft Position Sensor, where orientation can affect fit and function.

  • Use the original part’s orientation as your guide.
  • If unsure, ask sellers to provide labelled images or diagrams.
  • Some electronic components and keys, like the Chrysler Dodge Jeep Remote Key, must also match mounting or button position, not just electronics.

2. Matching Plugs and Mounting Points

Chrysler often tweaks connectors and mounting points between model years and across trims. It’s essential to compare plug styles (flat, round, pin counts) for electronic parts.

  • Turbo cores and sensors (like the 2.0 Crd Turbo Core) may have visually similar housings but use different studs, bolt spacings, or plugs.
  • Remote keys, such as the CY24 Blade 4+1 Button Key, differ by chip and blade type. Double-check the Y160 vs CY24 blade differences.
  • Always cross-reference images and, if still unsure, use the request-a-part form for direct help.

3. Year Range, Trim, and Engine Differences

Chrysler parts compatibility can hinge on small changes between model years, facelifts, or engine/trim variants:

  • Check if your vehicle is pre- or post-facelift, especially for visual/exterior parts and sensors.
  • Engines (e.g. 2.0 CRD, 2.8 diesel) affect injectors like the 0445116041 Fuel Injector; always match engine codes.
  • Sport, Limited, Touring, and SRT trims may share body panels but differ in electronics or badging – check carefully.
  • If possible, reference your old part’s OEM number, especially for items reused across Jeep, Dodge, and Lancia families.

4. Avoiding the Most Common Fitment Mistakes

South African buyers most often make mistakes by ignoring side orientation, skipping plug/mount comparison, or trusting guesses about year/model splits. Avoid costly returns by following these checks:

  1. Identify by vehicle registration or VIN whenever possible.
  2. Check product photos and descriptions carefully, especially side-specific references.
  3. Contact the parts desk if you have doubts about fitment.
  4. Use Brits Bros’ app for easy photo/file upload and sourcing: Brits Bros App.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know if a Chrysler part is left or right for my car?

Stand in front of your Chrysler, facing forward as the driver (right side in South Africa). Left means passenger side, right means driver’s side. Always confirm using your original part as reference.

Can I use a Chrysler part from a different model year?

Only if the part number and physical features (plugs, mounts, orientation) match exactly. Many Chrysler parts change shape or spec between years – compare carefully or use the request-a-part service for expert verification.

What if I'm unsure about plug or connector compatibility?

Compare the plug shape, number of pins, and colour with your existing part. If in doubt, upload a photo via the Brits Bros app for advice, or use the request-a-part tool for personalised help.
