    I need to replace my door strikers. Is there anything I should know before replacing them? Do I need to use Locktite on the bolts? Image Unavailable, Please Login

    I think you will find that the rear edges of your doors are sagging fairly significantly, most likely from people leaning on the doors when getting in and out. It is POSSIBLE to realign the doors to fit squarely into the openings, by carefully yanking the rear edge of the doors upwards. I wouldn't bother aligning the new pins with the old latches unless you want to see the same results. Your hinges (or the hinge pins) may be worn out beyond adjustment.

    Shouldn't the new pins have white plastic bushings on them?
