Door hinge bushings
 

I had my doors off all last week, finally some nice weather.:ya:
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.:mad:
I went to the stealership today and they want $19 for EACH bushing:eek2:
Are they out of their ****ing minds?
They want me to bail Chrysler out myself.
Has anyone found these anywhere cheaper?

no plastic on mine:thinking:steel inserts paint will come off the top!!!!!:thumbsup:

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.

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

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:thumbsup:

Sounds cool I'm in. ; )
