Blue pex is for cold water though. Not for Ford door latch bushings. U should always use the correct color pipe for the job

Good ole fords, I used to sell those bushings over and over, plastic fantastic

Ford tip #3. Front disc brakes on an f100 have rubber bushings. They do not come w any rebuild kit. Use rubber fuel hose.

I've never had that particular issue. It's normally the hinge bushings that we're out

Not on a ford is it

Also gotta make sure the door is aligned right, or else you’ll need another striker. Had to do a Mack truck door last week

Best color on an OBS Ford. My first vehicle (after getting my license) was a one owner SCSB 95, tow package, 280,000 miles in color code JA. It's name was Barney. It's the only vehicle I've gotten rid of that I continue to miss. I also had to replace the door strikers on the driver's side like 3 times, and the door pins/bushings once.

You can also use nylon bushing inserts from trailer leaf springs. They are cheap like borscht and last for ever. I have some on my square body going on 5 years now. Still haven’t replaced them. Yes my square body is my daily.

i used the one in the help section on mine but found i had to sand down the plastic part because the diameter was a little too big to work smoothly. been 2 years of daily driving since that repair and it’s holding up!

Nice! You’re not the only one I’ve seen having to do that. I kind of think the replacement bushings are all a little big.

Hinge pins and bushings are a common culprit as well. Quick fix if it's an old junker, put a jack under the open door and go up slowly just a little bit until the door works as desired.

We always just beat’em with a hammer til the door latches, it’s a ford it can take it👍

Thanks man!🤙 yup you definitely need the bushing.

If you look closely at your latch pin assembly, you will see that your pin has been pushed in ever so slightly, as evidenced by the sliver of discoloration around the right side of the silver colored metal section against the blue paint. Loosen that T-50 and pull the latch assembly back out to its original position and tighten it back up. see if the door latches properly, before replacing the bushing.

I used to use a piece of a cheap metal broom handle as a temporary bushing

Mine were completely gone when I replaced them makes a huge difference in shutting the door

On my 96 the bushing was replaced with electrical tape, I pulled it off not knowing it was there for a reason and the door closed better and no longer required slamming

Thanks saul goodman

Another trick to avoid pulling the bolt out. > Cut PVC that fits the bolt (inside diameter as well as outside, probably 1/2" tube) in length needed. Take fine saw or grinder bit, remove about 1/8 " from one end to the other. Snap PVC over the bolt. If you still have scrap, use solder iron to melt piece into place making complete seal, add more if needed. Again, I have done this several times on old chevy, last usually for over a year.

Yours, however, is fine. Only needs adjusting to compensate for hinge wear

Fell out of my Ford taking a hard turn w/ my pit bull in passenger seat - dog hit me I fell out door (hinges and bushings bad. ) roll on 2 way street and stopped few feet before oncoming suv.

sad thing is the next gen (97-0whatever) had similar issues, but the doors would tell all, by cracking and ripping at the corner of the window. I still would drive a Ford over any others.

that bolt with the bushing - Is the adjustment for the door - loosen the t 50 bolt and move it and retighten it (generally inwards) Fixed without bushing

The door striker and latch both wear together. Change them both.

or the striker is out of adjustment, that year of ford had adjustable door hinges and strikers
