I recently purchased a full set of door bushings along with their install tool for a 2008 JKU and they would not fit. The reason they would not fit (I'm assuming) is because I just installed a full set of stainless hinges by Kentrol, and they must use different diameter hinge posts than factory. I sent an email to them outlining the problem asking for a return authorization number and got no immediate reply. After two weeks of no reply I decided to try calling, only to be sent to voicemail; which I left an message. Another 2 weeks and nothing, so I call again only to leave another message. I have since reported to PayPal and I am stuck with a set of bushings that are useless to me. It's only $100 dollars, but it's the principle of good business versus bad business practices. I'm offering this set of 8 bushings plus install tool for free to first person who claims them. I'll even pay shipping. I'll be reposting this on other JK forums as I want everyone to know about the business conducted by Magnitude Engineering.

I'd like to get those bushings if you are giving them away. I'd certainly pay shipping.

Bushings have been claimed! That didn't take long!! Several people have replied since posting this and I went with the first message received.

Just did mine a few weeks ago, picked them up from TMR Customs Jeep Delrin Door Hinge Liners - Fits 4 Door Jeep JK

only 1 old hinge insert was a problem otherwise quick and easy replacement. :beer:

I replaced all eight of mine for $5.50, went to the hardware store bought a 1/2in by 12in piece of brass tubing. Tapped the old ones out from the bottom with a screw driver, cut the brass tubing into 8 equal pieces (1.5in), and flared it at the top with a plumbing flare tool. Tapped them all in put my doors on and all four doors work smoothly. I understand brass is a softer metal as far as metal goes but if I have to replace them every year $5.50 and 15 min. of work not a bad deal.

eBay has door bushings for $21.00 for 20 , search wrangler door bushings ,mopar

Thanks again for the bushings. That was quite generous. Thank you!
