Auto accessory stores have these little bushes. I think the one you are referring to is the door latch striker bushing. Now if these bushes are worn you will find also that the bushings in the door hinges are also worn. At same store you can buy replacement door hinge pin sets. You will have to cut or grind old pins to knock them out of hinge then install new bushes and pins. These are not expensive or hard to fix, just a pain to get old ones out.
