Door striker plastic bushings, what are you using? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**57NAPCO** · 12-09-2016, 01:51 PM

The aftermarket ones I'm seeing are a lot thicker than factory and don't fit over the pin.
I would call these not very good

Malo83 · 12-09-2016, 02:13 PM

Picked up some new ones at AutoZone, had only 2 bushings and they were white.

**TKCR** · 12-09-2016, 03:12 PM

I replaced the whole set, they were pretty beat up. I got the actual GM part, so there was no issue with size.

Piece of 1/2 Pex tubing on mine. Works perfect.

**mongocanfly** · 12-09-2016, 05:45 PM

I bought new ones from lmc..they are white and work great..later on I read where a lot of people use the above mentioned pex..

Do you have the part number by chance?

SkinnyG · 12-09-2016, 09:31 PM

I machined my own out of UHMWPE.

09601750 ; 09815751 Not sure if they are available any more, but you can get some at this place. I just don't know if these are actual GM parts.

I believe this is where I got mine, but they changed their web-site, and I'm not sure how you order from them. Maybe call them?

I used the ones from them and they work great. For $8.00 each and since I am only 15 minute drive from their store, it was the best source for me.

Those are for Fords and they are .050" thicker than the Chevy ones that measure in at .700". I tried them and they didn't work to well. They caused the door to hang up on the opening.

What he said!

Bandit130 · 01-17-2017, 07:05 PM

I replaced my 74 with a set from Oreilly's. Bolts, washers and bushings. No problems.

Mr.Chevy4x4 · 01-17-2017, 07:12 PM

1/2 inch pex. Holds up a lot longer than the crappy help aisle bushings.

Matt Man · 01-17-2017, 08:03 PM

Problem I have with PEX is that I can't find anything less than 25ft in length....

Mr.Chevy4x4 · 01-17-2017, 08:05 PM

Stop and talk to a plumber. He'll probably give you a scrap out of the back of his truck.

Mike

ninety6 · 01-17-2017, 10:55 PM

Pex. a few bucks will get you enough to do a ton of them. Home depot had like a 4 or 6 foot piece i think?

On mine -- i had to make a slit the length of the tube to get it to slide over the striker. the next size up was too big.

works great, dirt cheap.

Thanks for the heads up, I need a few of em. Shipping is a bit steep 12.95 for 4 but good stuff anyway.

vht · 01-18-2017, 08:59 PM

I got 4 ft of pex at Lowes.

What I did was order other stuff to make it worth the shipping. Like a set of door pins & bushings and a few other small items.

I understand pex works but it will not repair a damaged or worn striker

Like mine, it looked like it had been run thru a chipper shredder, and survived somewhat.

KrazyRay · 01-19-2017, 10:41 AM

I find great OEM strikers from Suburban back doors that have little use. Also, I use my pex expando tool to slide the pex over the striker bolt.
