DOOR LOCK STRIKER ADJUSTMENT

Notice: The door lock striker is an important attaching
part that can affect the performance of vital components
and systems and can cause major repair expenses. If
replacement becomes necessary, the door lock striker
must be replaced by one with the same part number or
with an equivalent part if replacement becomes neces-
sary. Do not use a replacement part of lesser quality or
of a substitute design. The specified torque values must
be used during reassembly in order to ensure the proper
retention of the part.
The door lock striker consists of a striker with two
screws that are threaded into a tapped, floating cage

plate located in the appropriate body pillar. This floating
cage plate allows the striker to be easily adjusted in or
out and up or down. The door is secured in the closed
position when the door lock fork snaps over and en-
gages the striker.
Fore/Aft Adjustment
1. The door must be properly aligned.
2. Close the door until the lock fork contacts the striker.
3. Stand next to the door opening and move the door
slowly in and out, just touching the striker each time.

4. The alignment of the lock fork and the striker can be
easily seen. The lock fork should be perpendicular to
and fall near the middle of the striker. The lock fork
should fall near the middle of the striker between the
B-pillar and the end of the striker.
