I had my doors off all last week, finally some nice weather.
When I was putting the passenger door back on I noticed the plastic hinge bushings were really worn down. I'm afraid if they get much worse they'll go metal to metal and start peeling paint off the hinges.
I went to the stealership today and they want $19 for EACH bushing
Are they out of their ****ing minds?
They want me to bail Chrysler out myself.
Has anyone found these anywhere cheaper?

 

no plastic on minesteel inserts paint will come off the top!!!!!

 

my hinges have/had some sort of plastic spacer (like a washer). I didn't look close enough to see if it was a bushing in the barrel of the hinge. What I saw was pretty worn out.

$19... per hinge? per door? do you have a part number?

 

Mine also seem to be deteriorating a bit too. I sprayed some white grease in there just in case.

 

I see "55395703AD Bushing, Hinge" in the '08 parts pdf, but dont seem to fing it in my '07 copy.....yet

 

I just posted a thread about this exact thing. I just removed my doors for the first time and saw them. Installing the soft doors which have different sized pins tore a couple of them up. I'd like to have new ones for when I go back to hard doors.

55395703AD was the part # I used, and yes, my dealer also quoted $19. Think I could have them machined for less.

Somebody must have them.

I am going to check my local NAPA for some brass door bushings and see if they work, mine are already popping out and cracking.

 

Mine look like they're just plactic sleeves. Seems pretty easy to duplicate

 

I'm going to manerds tomorrow , i will check but I'm sure that they should have Teflon/plastic washers that will fit for about 19 cents

 

Sounds cool I'm in. ; )
