    Okay this is kind of rushed because I want to have some more lunch (wow I'm so fat oh God I'm disgusting) and play a game before I go out, but hopefully you guys will get the jist of this.

    It depicts a front driver's side door, but all the info applies to all the other doors too. If one side is welded (oftentimes the pillar-side is welded) that simply means you have less to worry about. Always align a panel to a welded part first (such as a quarter panel) because you KNOW a welded part has never (unless the car's been in an accident) been bumped out of alignment. Align the rear doors to the quarter panel, then the front doors to the rears. Or the hood to the cowl (if it's a welded cowl), then fenders to hood, then front door to fenders.

    There, I just gave you dudes nearly a week of autobody classes minus the hands-on bullcrap, and you don't even have tuition bills to worry about!

    God damn, I'm such a great guy!

      WOW! Love the drawing CSJ! But I found that all teh plastic bushing is gone off of my striker bolt, and picked up a new one in the "Help" section at O'Reilly's for like $7.

      Now, if it'll warm up again, I'll get around to putting it on!

                        LOL. My shitty old truck's driver's side bushing was shot and that door always rattled like hell. Rather than spend ~$7 for a new bushing (don't want to spend money on that junker unless it's absolutely necessary) I put a napkin into the claw on the lock and gave it a good slam every time I closed it. Worked just as well as a bushing for a week or so, but looked a thousand times more retarded. Since I go to Wendy's or Taco Bell nearly every day for lunch, I was never lacking napkins.


                        By the way, before you go about misaligning and realigning your doors, always check the condition of the hinge pins and the striker bushing, or else you're going to go crazy trying to get that door aligned, and it'll never happen.

                            You actually can buy new strikers at AutoZone, lol. They're on the help wall.

                            I never knew until I started working there in spring... that's when I replaced all of mine, all my bushings were cracked and broken off.

                              most places with a help section have them. I think most of mine are actually used junkyard ones or from parts cars. I think I've replaced one of them, but I've got another coming apart. I should actually just swap all of them, but mostly its been a case of too cheap/lazy or the parts place didn't have 4 in stock and I didn't feel like doing 2 and waiting for more to show up. (read: i used it as an excuse to be lazy)

                                Isn't it funny how we're all too cheap to buy a $5 item, but when we want to do a $200 gear swap or spend $400 on a huge brake upgrade we don't hesitate? I think that's ironic because I'm the same way... I've been putting off new headlight adjuster bolts for weeks, but then I went out and spent $850 on a new rifle.
