    Hello,
    Do they still sell the little plastic wheels that the linkage rotates on, and or the plastic bushings? Also, FYI, I found a door hinge replacement kit that had 4 different size brass bushings used for rebuilding your door hinge. Thes fit almost perfectly and will require just a tad of fileing or dremel work to use in place of the little plastic units.
    Has anyone used anything other than the plastic bushings? Problem I have is w/ one of the rod ends has a little wore spot on one side from many many miles of use. The brass seems like a good solution to perhaps minimize further wear of the steal...
    Any thoughts... what did you do? Full roller?

    Most auto parts stores carry door hinge rebuild kits. They contain the rod and the brass bushings. You will need to drill out the hole just a bit but they work great. There is a how to thread about it some where on here.
