Replacing Door Strap Bush (The Boy)
« on: 17 October 2006, 22:03:45 »
He didn't have a clue before Sunday, come to that, I don't think anyone else did until Mark changed one and then handed round the bushes. ;D

Very true.

I though my cracking was coming from inside the door, not the bush. Changing as shown by Marks_DTM has cured the cracking.

Thanks Mark :y

I must get mine sorted too, though it is a bit late for the drivers side.  [smiley=sad.gif]

Absolutely, and sounds2k had already included it in a how2, albeit covering more than the bush.

I wrote up the simple one, as changing the bush is cheap and easy.

I did mine having read the how too on the other site.  Quickest, cheapest most successful and satisfying piece of car maintenance I have ever carried out.
