Parts General Information
PARTS ILLUSTRATIONS: The linking of detailed, exploded diagrams and text in each section helps you note all of the affected parts. Those parts most likely to be damaged together are displayed together.
PART NUMBERS: Part numbers are included to facilitate estimating. It is recommended, however, that the year, make, model and VIN or model code information be given to dealership personnel for verification of application and most current pricing. There are often non-interchangeable right-hand and left-hand parts which have the same price and are similar in format. Those right and left part numbers are combined on one line, always listing the right part first (example: 4016306-7). This means the right number is 4016306 and the left number is 4016307. This applies whether the right number is the higher or the lower. If the right and left numbers differ widely, each is listed on a separate line.
DISCONTINUED PARTS: Occasionally parts are discontinued by manufacturers. Any discontinued parts that Mitchell can identify will continue to be carried in the Database but will be identified by a "d" preceding the part price. Any part number and
OEM REFINISHED PARTS: Mitchell lists as many colors of OEM pre-painted, high impact parts as is practical. The manufacturer will sometimes, without notice, replace a pre-painted part with a part that requires refinishing. Dealer contact may be required for these items.
NON-REUSABLE PARTS: Some attachment components may not be suitable for reuse (examples: plastic clips, fasteners, suspension bolts). Caution should be taken when estimating removal and/or replacement. It should be agreed upon as to what parts may require replacement even though not noticeably damaged.
FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE THEFT PREVENTION ACT OF 1984 mandates that high theft vehicles carry a VIN identification sticker on major components. This law also mandates replacement parts must carry this identification in the form of an R-DOT (Replacement-Department of Transportation) label. Penalties may apply to their removal or alteration. Contact NHTSA or the part manufacturer for further information.
