Replacement Hood

This replacement hood pivot bushing is engineered specifically for Peterbilt 386 trucks manufactured in 2012 and later model years. Constructed from high-quality polyurethane material, this component delivers exceptional durability and resistance to wear, making it an ideal choice for heavy-duty commercial trucking applications. The polyurethane construction provides superior flexibility that allows the hood hinge assembly to effectively absorb shocks and vibrations encountered during normal operation, reducing stress on the hood mechanism and extending overall service life. The pivot bushing serves as a critical connection point between the hood and frame assembly, enabling smooth opening and closing while maintaining structural integrity under demanding conditions. Compatible with Peterbilt 386 models, this bushing is also suitable for other Peterbilt heavy-duty platforms including the 378, 379, 579, and 587 series, offering fleet operators a versatile replacement solution across multiple vehicle configurations. As an essential wear component, this pivot bushing should be replaced when signs of deterioration, excessive play in the hood movement, or squeaking sounds develop. Regular replacement ensures optimal hood alignment, operator safety, and protection of engine compartment components from weather exposure. Fleet maintenance teams and independent truck service centers can rely on this OEM-equivalent replacement to restore proper hood operation and maintain vehicle appearance standards. This product is suitable for trucking fleets, motor carriers, truck dealerships, and commercial maintenance facilities requiring reliable hood assembly components. Installation requires basic mechanical skills and standard hand tools, with replacement typically completed in under one hour.
