    Hello all you Tacoma Gurus,

    My passenger side door was pushed forward further than it was intended my accident and now it makes loud mumbling noises when I close it. It sounds like the metal hinge was bent out of shape. Any cheap and easy fix for this without drying my wallet? Thanks.

    Thanks, Jimmy. You are right that the "door check" is what I will need to replace. Taking my door apart to get to it makes me a little nervous since I have never done this before.

    I will order the part and follow this guy's instruction to get to it.
