Dodge Omni Parts

The Dodge Omni launched its production in 1977 to become one of the earliest front-wheel-drive budget vehicles made in America. Market consumers could select between two powertrain options from the Dodge Omni: the 1.6L Simca I4 which produced 62 hp and the 1.7L Volkswagen I4 which produced 84 hp or they could later choose from the available 2.2L engine options. A front-wheel-drive economy car from Dodge had two engine options consisting of the 1.6L Simca 6J I4 which produced 62 hp and 85 lb-ft of torque and the 2.2L K I4 that delivered 84 hp and 122 lb-ft of torque. These power units gave car buyers various performance choices. Vehicle buyers had multiple transmission selections available for Dodge Omni models between the 4-speed manual and 5-speed Chrysler manual and automatic options A404 and A413 to improve driving performance. Front-wheel drive was present in standard equipment on the majority of Dodge Omni models because it promoted enhanced driving performance and superior fuel economy. The Dodge Omni hatchback spanned 163.2 inches of length and measured 99.2 inches for its wheelbase and weighed a curb-weight of 2,137 lbs. Both city and highway driving conditions receive a comfortable and stable ride from the Dodge Omni since it combines front MacPherson strut suspension with torsion beam rear suspension. The Omni's driving experience gained an advantage from its rack-and-pinion steering system which worked together with power-assisted front disc brakes for better handling and braking capabilities. The original equipment manufacturer Dodge Omni parts should be used exclusively for performance reliability and to keep the vehicle's authenticity intact.
