My Explorer was able to use these bushings. If you need to speak with a GMC dealer, do so. I wish you the best of luck
The rear hatch on Explorer is one of their specialties. I do not know if it fits any of the GM I wish you the best of
This appears to be made out of a heavy, hard plastic. I'm not sure what kind of material this is. As far as I can tell, it seems to be the same material as the original.

The following is a recommendation for installation In order to remove the striker, you will need a star bit and a ratchet, but you will also need to remove the taillight so that you can hold the nut/plate on which the striker is secured. Take care not to lose sight of the nut or the plate when you take out the striker because it can fall down. Save yourself a lot of hassle and have someone else put their hand back there to hold it for you. This kit includes the longer bushings for a 1996 FORD F-150, but they don't fit out of the box The front door striker is a 150. I don't like how thick they are. You'll need to grind them down a lot if you plan to use them. Cut 1/2" PEX to the desired length if you want a better choice. The only reason it's not supposed to be used on the front door is that it's not intended for that use.
In my '96 Ford Explorer, I broke several pieces of the striker bushing on the liftgate (tailgate). offered us this inexpensive kit to save the day. There are both liftgate bushings included in the kit. To remove the tailgate striker, I did not have a Torx tool large enough. Using channel lock pliers I turned out to be more effective. It was not the best tool, but it was useful enough. It is important to note that no strikers were hurt in connection with The pros are The '96 Explorer is suitable for this. Basically nothing (I only It will be 28 in August The cons are There are none. The installation can be done with a Torx tool, just keep that in mind.
I split the nylon sleeve off a stud due to wear and found these to be exactly what I needed! The temp fix I used for keeping the door closed was electrical tape The penetrant oil was also able to work for a longer period of time. When the stud is inserted into a captive nut, the plate is held in place by sheetmetal tabs that deform if damaged threads are not cleaned. Once the taillights are removed, a die can be used to chase the threads exposed, then penetrating oil is applied. The stud should then come out relatively easily. My gate now closes like a dream after realigning the studs (after using a grinder on the hole a bit). You can no longer slam the door!.
It shipped quickly and resolved my problem. My tailgate would not latch properly because the striker bushings were broken, so I was surprised at how fast the package arrived. The process of replacing two of them took around 7 minutes. Make sure you mark the locations of the striker bolt and washers before you loosen them. In this manner, you can get the item back to where it belongs. I was able to fix my issue immediately. There won't be a light on when a door is ajar anymore. It is very helpful to be able to buy the bushing only, as opposed to purchasing the stud and bushing from.
The purpose of these was to replace the rotted out bushings on the side doors of my '97 Explorer, but after mounting them, the doors refuse to shut. While they don't work as well as they should on the tailgate, they do make it considerably quieter. For the side doors, you'll need to go to a hardware store and buy the smallest lengths of 1/2" PEX tubing you can find, and then cut the tubing down to size with a pipe cutter so that it fits the side door In order to make the PEX tubing thinner, I had to sandpaper it a little bit, but once I did, the doors closed smoothly and the rattle that used to occur when hitting bumps was completely gone. There are usually three different colors available - blue, red, and white.
The title of the post says it all. The ODs and IDs of these parts are too large for my 95 F150's tailgate striker, as well as the ODs and IDs of the door strikers. Furthermore, this item does not fit door strikers or rear lift fate on Explorers and Rangers of the first and second generations.
Ford dealerships and junk yards didn't have the rear hatch bushings for my 1999 Mercury Mountaineer, so I scoured auto parts stores and junk yards for them. My search for one was futile because no one had any, and I could not get It seems that they had already been removed from the junkyard. I recall being told that the Mountaineers were just pickups with different bodies. I even got a message from Amazon saying that the product would In comparison with my only good bushing on the Mountaineer, I measured the dimensions of the bushing that I just bought. Within a few thousandths of an inch the dimensions matched exactly. After installing the new one, I was able to use it! 'Now that the hatch is open and closed again' means I can get back to my daily routine. There is no reason for me to give it less than 5 stars!.
Our 1998 Explorer XLT is now ready for this set of parts. According to the specification, the 2 longer ones fit the rear hatch. There is no use in the shorter 2. The diameter of these beads was too large and the length too short. As well as fixing the hatch alignment and rattle, the longer ones were also more durable and powerful. Besides searching for useful ones for the front, the next step would be to create some.
