Au-ve-co Products 14548 Door Hinge Bushing

Product Description

The AU-VE-CO PRODUCTS 14548 is a sintered bronze door hinge bushing designed to restore smooth, stable operation to automotive door hinge assemblies. Sintered bronze is a self-lubricating material that resists wear under the repetitive load and motion cycles typical of vehicle door hinges. This small but critical component is installed when a door hinge develops slop, binding, or excessive play, and it is commonly handled by automotive technicians, body shop mechanics, and experienced DIYers performing door restoration or collision repair work.

This bushing fits into automotive door hinge applications where the original bronze or steel bushing has worn beyond acceptable tolerances. It is suited for use in passenger vehicles during door hinge rebuilds, body-on-frame restorations, or general door alignment correction. Installers working on older vehicles with worn hinges will find this bushing a direct-fit replacement component for hinge pin assemblies. Note that this item is sold individually per package, with a minimum order quantity of 25 units, making it practical for shops keeping hinge hardware in stock.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by automotive body technicians or mechanical technicians during door hinge service or rebuild. Before beginning work, ensure the vehicle door is properly supported to prevent strain on adjacent hinges or panels. Old bushings should be pressed or drifted out carefully to avoid damaging the hinge knuckle bore. Consult the vehicle manufacturer's service documentation for proper hinge pin and bushing fit tolerances before installing.
