I had the doors off again this weekend, and the top hindge on the drivers side is metal to metal. I got to thinking about just putting in some thin teflon washers or maybee another material. Has anyone done this, and if so would they happen to know the dimensions of the washers needed so that the door will still close. Thickness, outside, and indside diameters ect.

 

x2 I would also like to know what type of grease to use

 

Does anyone have any more info on these bushings?

I had my doors off last week, and my passenger side bushings are already finished, the jeep is an '09, less than a year old!

Has anyone found a better solution, or do I have to bite the bullet and pay 20$/bushing?

Has anyone been able to get these under warranty? I find it a little crazy that these fail after less than a year!

 

McMaster Carr probably has something that will fit. Take some measurements and look here:

mine i are jacked up too!

 

I just looked, so are mine. What is the best way to remove them to put new ones in?

 

Bumping this up. All my door hinges are down to the metal. Need to know how to replace.

Do I just use pliers to pull the old ones out and hammer the new ones in?

 

One piece solid replacement hinge bushings are available as replacements for the laminated OEM originals:

Good info. Still expensive at $35 for a set of four (the offered package size), and $70 to replace all of them on the four doors. Plus $6 for shipping (to my Zip, anyway). But, if they don't break down like the stock design, may be worth the money.
