LisylineAuto Engine Hood Hinge Pivot Bolt Bushing Kit for Peterbilt 378/379 — Iron & Plastic Replacement, Direct-Fit OEM Cross-Ref

LisylineAuto's Engine Hood Hinge Pivot Bolt Bushing Kit replaces worn rubber bushings on Peterbilt 378 and 379 hoods with durable iron-and-plastic components for a tighter, longer-lasting hinge. The LisylineAuto kit is engineered as a direct-fit replacement for OEM part numbers 23-15273, 13-04726 and 13-04727, restoring stable hood movement and reducing slop at the hinge. Built from high-strength iron combined with molded plastic sleeves, these bushings are intended to outlast original rubber pieces and keep your hood operating smoothly under heavy use. The set contains everything needed to renew one hood hinge assembly (installation hardware included as pictured), and it fits both short-hood and extended-hood configurations for Peterbilt 378 and 379 trucks.

How does this kit improve hood operation?

Worn hinge bushings allow excess play at the pivot, causing rattles and uneven hood alignment. Replacing those aged rubber pieces with the LisylineAuto iron-and-plastic bushings reduces movement and restores a solid, centered hinge action. That means quieter travel and easier hood opening and closing.

• Replaces degraded rubber with sturdier iron and plastic construction
• Restores tight pivoting to reduce vibration and noise
• Designed to fit OEM mounting points for straightforward swap-in

Will this fit my Peterbilt 378 or 379 hood?

The kit is specified to work with both short and extended hood designs used on Peterbilt 378 and 379 models. It matches the OEM reference numbers 23-15273, 13-04726, and 13-04727 so you can confirm fit by cross-referencing your truck’s parts list. If your existing hinge uses those part numbers, this set is a direct replacement.

• Compatible with Peterbilt 378 and 379 short and extended hoods
• OEM cross-references included to verify fitment
• Sold as a set for one hinge assembly — check quantity needs before ordering

What are the materials and durability benefits?

Unlike soft rubber bushings that compress and wear quickly, this kit uses iron components paired with precision-molded plastic sleeves that resist deformation and abrasion. The harder materials better withstand repeated opening cycles and road vibration, extending service life and reducing maintenance frequency. You’ll see less side-to-side play and improved retaining strength under load.

• High-strength iron provides structural support and corrosion resistance
• Plastic sleeves reduce metal-on-metal wear and maintain alignment
• Combination yields longer lifespan than original rubber parts

How easy is installation?

The kit is designed for technicians or mechanically inclined owners familiar with hood hinge servicing. Because it follows OEM dimensions and mounting points, it typically installs using common hand tools and standard shop procedures. No special presses or modifications should be necessary when replacing like-for-like bushings.

• Direct-fit replacement — uses existing hinge holes and bolts
• Typical installation requires standard wrenches and basic mechanical skill
• Shop or DIY friendly; consult a service manual if unsure
