Hi Toma BTDT. Your looing for a "spring Pin", do not get a "roll pin", very similar but the spring pin is the replacment. Next issue, the spring pin on the van is a metric, whereas the Auto parts ones will likely be English. Do not dispair as this is good. The arm rest holes get a bit elongated and so the arm rest wiggles a little or a lot depending on how bad the elongation. Any, by drilling out the holes to match the new sized spring pin you'll fix the sloppy problem too. Other tips, have the end of the roll pin chamfered to aid in the reinstallation processs. Also measure the needed length. My part house was either our or didn't have the correct length and had to cut a long one down. Sincerely, Mark Keller 91 Carat |
