Tech Tips


  • Centering bolts are used to mount the door hinge onto the vehicle body and door. The door cannot be adjusted with the centering bolts on. Substitute standard bolts (with washers) for the centering bolts when making adjustments.

  • For bolts without torque specifications, check the standard bolt chart.


  1. INSPECT FRONT DOOR


    1. Check that the clearance measurements are within the standard ranges.
