tailgate hing bushing

does anyone know where to get the plastic bushings that go on the tailgate hinge??


one of mine is gone, and the other is cracked, the tailgate bangs really loud on bumps because these bushings are gone...

Yeah. Unfortunately at the Dodge Dealer. Try these guys though. It's an online dealer out of Portland Or. http://www.trademotion.com/partlocat...&siteid=214583

OOPPSS. I guess while coping the link, the part number was lost. Anyway, the tail gate pivot bushing number is 55274936AC

I went to the dealer to get replacements for mine. Instead of replacement bushings, they sold me plastic caps that slide over the tailgate pins. Are the original style bushings still available?
