Default Fox Body Doors adjustments

Are there any adjustments to the doors so that when they are shut the you can not shake them?

There is just a little rattle in them.

Thanks

The door hinges you can get new king pins to fix. The window needs new rubber guides and/or seals and maybe some tightening.

Sorry got a phone call. You probably need to rreplace the strikers also. The bushing around the metal sleeve has probably worn off.

All you got to do is order the plastic bushing that goes around the striker no need to replace the whole thing. You will need a torx #50 if I am correct to get the striker off.

New strikers, or at least the bushings will make a huge difference. While you're at it, do the hatch striker too.

if you order the striker bushings from late model resto make sure and just order the bushings themselves and not the bolt that goes with it for the door strikers. When I ordered mine the guy told me that the striker and washer do not seperate on the factory striker so you had to order the bushing with the new bolt but this is untrue because after I pulled the factory ones off my car I discoverd that they do unscrew and I am positive that they were the factory strikers. Other than that late model resto is a good company.
