Tech Tips


  • Use the same procedure for the RH and LH sides.

  • The procedures described below are for the RH side.

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

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