Review on 🔧 Dorman 38445 Door Striker Bolt - M10-1.50 Compatibility: Ford / Lincoln / Mercury Models by Jeff Richmond

This is a great replacement door bushing for the '96 Ford Explorer. The doors use a different bushing than the liftgate/sunroof. Rice. 1. The old bushing is broken. Rice. 2. Take a marker and draw a visible line around the body of the old counterbolt and remove. Rice. 3. Compare the old door latch with the new one. one and replace. Install the new one along the lines you drew earlier, otherwise you will have to adjust the door to close it. Rice. 4 A new locking bolt was installed. Check if it closes. If your hardware still looks good, you can try a 5/8 Pex water hose from the hardware store. Of course you have to cut it to the right length. Just looking, maybe 1/2 in length. Drives completely, the doors don't rattle.
