Reviews for Quadratec Delrin Replacement Door Hinge Bushings for 07-24 Jeep Wrangler JK & JL 4 Door
The bushings are way too big to fit in the hinge holes. I even tried filing the hole to make them fit but no luck. Waste of $60 for the worst product that I have ever purchased from Quadratec! To make things worse I can’t return them because I waited to long to install them! Save your money and buy ones not made by Quadratec!
The bushings are fine. The removal tool and removal method are no good. Alternatively, I cannot get a 1/2" drill bit in there to drill them out. Needs better method of old bushing removal.
Read the reviews - all of them. I wish I did.
Whenever forum groups talk about "name a mod you regret," these Delrin bushings will now be at the top my list. Concept and design is there, but the time, effort, cursing, and inevitable damage involved with the installation greatly outweighs any benefits. A SORT OF noticeable smoothness in the door opening vs. all four of my front door hinged now having chipped paint = wow, no thanks.
I had my eye on these for a while because my factory bushings were showing wear, and eventually pulled the trigger due to pandemic time at home mixed with a little retail therapy, but I really wish I skipped on this one. I'm in the process of contacting customer service now about getting a refund.
Only lasted 18 months
Followed instructions and polished door pins for test fit. Polished for two hours on one door and could not get the delrin bushing to fit. I used some sand paper and began removing metal from hinge pins and still could not get bushing to pass test fit. Put factory bushings back in and hinge pins have a visible gap from "removal of buildup" and i still could not get bushings to go on door pins. Would not recommend to anyone.
I am very disappointed in this product. After wrestling with seized doors the last thing I wanted to do was deal with bushings that inconsistently fit into the door jam and on the door pins. After following the instructions the bushings still did not fit consistently into my doors jams. I tried moving the bushings to different jams but that led to an inconsistent fit on the door pins. Either way, I was screwed. The price and materials are appealing when you compare these bushings to OEM parts however I'll take replacing bushings every few years to avoid what I am afraid is ahead of me when I try to remove the doors next week. I caution anyone considering these bushings.
Terribly difficult to try to hammer in the bushing remover tool (upside down by the way) to remove the old bushings. Plus the bushing remover tool was misshaped by the hammer blows. And it pushed my hinges off kilter and I had to realign those. I passed my return window otherwise I’d get my money back. Also terrible deal for $60. Really? Eight plastic tubes, a metal slug, and two strips of sandpaper? What was I thinking?
Stay away from these. After reading the reviews thought they would be ok...wrong. before replacing I cleaned everything with a wire brush and a dremel...spayed fluid film in the bushings seated the doors they went in a little tight ...but to late I could not remove them...one door wont seat properly. Now I'm afraid I'll never get the doors off again...even called a buddy to help me get the doors back off....tried all the tricks but they now wont budge...at my wits end on how to get them off...paid $60 dollars for a fix that now won't let take the doors off...if you buy these drill them out a bit so they fit sloppy I gues
Beware! When Installed these will cause your doors to sit slightly higher than the stock bushings (I installed them perfectly). One of my doors really has to be slammed hard, and makes an aweful noise as the latch no longer aligns with the receiver. All the doors have to be slammed harder. Also, the bolts for your doors will rub the paint off the bottom of the receivers because now they sit higher as well, and they will rust. Quadratec agreed to refund my money, but I had already thrown my Mopar bushings away, so had to buy replacements that were more expensive than these Delrin bushings. Overall I am out $95 for the bushings and $15 for touchup paint. Real bummer as my Jeep is a 2017 and the bushings were in good shape- just trying to prevent the inevitable corrosion that takes place up north. Read the other reviews carefully- others have had the same problems.
Would not even fit my 2012 jk. Bushings way to large for door hinge. Waste of cash
