Tailgate striker
Vinyl bushings on my tailgate striker have cracked and pieces broken off. Would like to replace just the bushing. Is that available or do I have to purchase the large screw (Torx head), large washer and bushing as a unit or can I just purchase the vinyl (??) bushing. Presently have black electric tape around the cracked bushing. Know this is only temporary. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Steve,
I would change my screen name, but I'd prob. forget what it is by sunday and then start all over; it's bad enough trying to log into some of these Bronco MB's w/my diff names as it is.
You should see what some have called me...in the past in MBB...lol
Good for you scionti! It always surprises me what some local auto parts stores carry for our Broncos/F's.

Not many people know where the "|" character is on the keyboard, and even fewer know the name for it.

Found the bushings only that I needed. Used my existing striker posts/bolts. Discount Auto and Pep Boys also had the entire striker post/bolt, however the thread size was different than the originals. Didn't want to getting into tapping.
