Default Caliper pin bushings

Ok guys there was a pulling when I hit the brakes. Took the wheel off and the caliper pins are there but no bushings. I checked my repair Manuel and it says there's caliper pins, rubber bushings and Teflon sleeves. But when I went to autozone or O'Reilly they don't know ****, they have the pins and bushings but noone seems to know about the Teflon sleeves, are they not needed? If someone could please help

The Teflon SUPPOSEDLY avoided needing a lubricant; I've not seen the Teflon anywhere, so I've been using ceramic disc brake lubricant.

OTOH, they bushing and sleeve pack is listed as a current Mopar part; see for instance http://www.factorychryslerparts.com/.../04205982.html

I had a blown bushing...by the time I looked at tracking down all the repair parts it was just easier to order a new caliper from rock auto. I ordered new ones for both sides. $20 a piece.

Thanks guys. I found some bushing I had to order them. They will be here tomorrow. If that doesn't work I'll have to just buy new calipers. This truck is almost as hard to find parts for, as my 93 mitsu 3000gt I used to have.

I dunno, I've got no problem finding calipers, rotors, brakes, springs, bearings, bushings, et al.

Also for the interior parts I need.

Plus for the exterior parts I need.

Dunno what you mean by that.
