Photo DIY- Door Strap Bushing R/R

Greets.

Looking thru the WIS, they recommend this as a first-line repair for the "Noisy" Door strap.

I just hated the cheap-O sound of the door when I opened it, with that "Creak"/"POP" sound.

Rather than tear the whole door apart, and do a more expensive R/R of the WHOLE door strap, I thought I would first try the $2.50 bushing replacement, and the much more simple repair job.

And YES the obnoxious sound resolved after the simple bushing replacement.
