Question Door Strikers

Hi all, I did a search, but couldn't find an answer. I wanted to know if the door striker are adjustable or if they need to be replaced? I am getting a small rattle from all 4 doors and I narrowed it down to the strikers.

Thanks in advance,
MALO

My 2005 are not adjustable. If there's lots of corrosion on the bolts, you'll need to apply heat to get them to come out. When I replaced mine (which got rid of the door rattle), I had to weld a bolt onto the door striker retaining bolt in order to get it out (heat worked on the other three bolts).

Thanks Dave, I don't have any corrosion but today I noticed they are worn a bit where the striker meets the latches. I'm just going to order all 4 and hopefully that'll get rid of the rattle.

Just an update, put some electrical tape on the strikers (temporarily) and sure enough the rattle is gone. All four strikers will be replaced. Thanks for the response.

The new upgraded ones with the rubber bumpers are available at Riff Raff Diesel.

I chased mine for a long time, I thought the strikers would fix it but the rattles re-appeared. I had to replace my latches.

Wow, thanks for the advice. I was wondering why someone hasn't come up with a bushing type strikers.
