1995 was the first year for the Dodge Avenger two-door coupe, which was produced until 2000. The Avenger started production again in 2008 as a four-door sedan. The 1995 Avenger was equipped with a 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder, or optional 2.5-liter V-6 engine. The V-6 engine is sourced from Mitsubishi. The rear wheel bearings on the Avenger are part of the wheel hub, and the hub and bearings are replaced as a unit.
