Need the bushing that goes on the door striker bolts

[weider1717]

After years of my drivers door not closing correctly actually looked and found there is a bushing that goes on the striker bolt that is gone.

can anyone point me in the direction of the correct bushing? I looked on amazon but not sure which bushing would fit and figure surely some of you guys have had to go through the same thing and may can help!

thanks for any advice

I was looking for a retainer clip in the miscellaneous Help! section of Autozone recently and saw them there. I think it was the Dorman section.

Go to Home Depot and get 1/2" pex pipe. It works perfect.

I thought about those type places may having them i assume its probably one size fits most stickers.

The only reason I noticed them is because I'd just gutted my doors and rebuilt them including new pins and bushings for the hinges and strikers that came with new bushings. The blister pack I saw had the same grey plastic bushings that came on my strikers and it was labeled as GM striker bushings. PEX gets universal praise from everyone that's tried it, I don't think you can go wrong either way.

Or the redneck fix, run electric tape until you get your thickness!

You may want to consider replacing the door pins and bushing also . What happens is the door drops and the door strike is having to lift the door to align it for it to close . Strike takes a beating an beats up on the bushing . Don't be surprised if you have to replace them regularly if hinges are not rebuilt .

Return it & get the GM version. I just did all 4 of my doors.

mine came in a kit of 4 pieces.

and guys my passenger side bolt wouldn't budge and as expected it get rounded off fairly good trying so with that I want to just replace it.

called chevy dealer and the parts dept is closed on saturday anyone know of the correct part number for a identical striker bolt as the original? truck is an 87 model v10 I'll just order one on ebay or amazon probably have it sooner than i can make it to the dealer as I can't get there during the week after work. As the doorman type stuff isn't exact and since my drivers door one is original and i can obviously tell the doorman fitting looks different id rather have an oem now piece.

Good news is I got the drivers door bushing on and it shuts and fits like a glove now
