RE: {Chrysler 300} seat mech rubber bushings 300K

Hi Allen,

There are four used in each seat. Two on each jack screw. Where did you find them?

I spent some time looking over how those things work, and I have to say that I think the Chrysler Engineering should not have used rubber on those unless they were worried about noise.

The rubber on mine appeared to have “bonded” somewhat to those shafts. They came out, but I feel that they should move nice and free so they can pivot. I purchased, arriving today, some PTFE impregnated silicon bronze flanged bushings. I am going to try those and see how it works. If I have an issue, I may take you up on the offer.

The one thing I noted is that they stamped (dimpled down) to spots on the upper slides so that they hit the riveted stops in the lower and you cannot take them out to clean well and lube well the slides. What PITA on that.

I thought about blasting them, but since you cannot get the slides apart and with the nylon parts in the mechanism, I will clean it well, hand wire wheel a couple of light rust spots and repaint them.

Thanks, James

How many do you need? I bought a bag of them.

Hi All,

The front seat electric mechanisms use a set of rubber bushings on the screw jacks where they mount to frame. They look like little shock bushings. Has anyone every found a useable replacement for these? Mine are so-so.

Thanks, James.
