Door check stop needs replacing

Ebay link?

 

Ordered driver and passenger side door checks from Camelback. The Russian parts are no longer available. It doesn't sound like something I would want to undertake anyway, simpler to just replace both with oem parts.

 

Are any of the Chinese replacements worth a shit? I may just try the JB weld method first out of sheer laziness.

 

These worked fine for me.

I love how all of these say 1995-2000 tacomas, meanwhile the OEM part says 1995-2004. I'm guessing they're the same part and the china sellers have no idea what years it actually fits.

It also doesn't appear to be side specific either

 

Same door check will bolt up either side. Hinge end just faces up on one side so that plastic cover doesn’t fit back right. I just cut a tab out of little cover that side so it would work back. It’s cosmetic IMO, function is same. You could knock out the pivet pin and use your old hinge foot back I guess. Wasn’t worth the trouble. My thoughts were to not buy the cheapest and gambled I could disassemble and swap parts over to originals if needed since internal parts seem to not be available any longer. Didn’t have to do that, replaced in about 10 minutes and done.

 

Takes me 10 minutes just to open the door and figger out what I opened it for...

Seriously, didn't you have to remove the door panel to install the door check??

 

Yes. Maybe 10 minutes per side. Panels are easy to remove on my 96 with a trim tool. Several screws and a piece of heavy string to pop the retainer clip on window crank. It’s been a couple years, not trying to mislead because it’s really pretty easy once you’ve pulled the panels a couple times. I fretted over the door checks a long while before I ordered the replacements. Wasted time.

 

Thanks for the help. Guess I'll try one. For $31, it's better than the one the wind busted 20 years ago.

Some wrote it took them an hour to remove, clean, and reinstall the door panel. Prolly take me 2 hours. That's okay - it'll give me sumpthin' to do.

 

Did you lube yours at all? Timmy did in his video but all I had was dry lube for locks lol. No graphite laying around.
These work nicely out of the box. Time will tell on longevity. I got them for $26 each on eBay. No issues with the plastic covers on mine. Made in Taiwan.

I think I used a little lithium grease on them. Good job.

 

Mine weren't direction specific either, but my plastic tabs fit on just fine. Wonder why yours didn't.
I had some caliper grease I would have used that but I lost the big tub of it somewhere. just running em with the dry lube for now. Seems fine.
