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:
- Identify by vehicle registration or VIN whenever possible.
- Check product photos and descriptions carefully, especially side-specific references.
- Contact the parts desk if you have doubts about fitment.
- 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.
