Hey everyone, my driver door has been popping since I got the car 2 years ago and once I was motivated to do something about it found the bushing is NLA. I searched and couldn't find much so I posted on the facebook Prime page and someone was nice enough to point me to this thread http://www.nsxprime.com/forum/showt...L0-003-Part-Discontinued-Door-checker-bushing which seemed to end without a resolution. Today I worked out an off the shelf solution so I thought I would update that thread for the next person, only now I realize its a classified ad, which is prob why I couldn't find it. So I figured it was better to just post a new thread in the DIY section.
Doorman HELP! #14041 is a pedal and shift linkage bushing kit. The smallest bushing in the kit is a similar plastic, has the perfect ID and OD with the same size step in the top. The only deficiency is its slightly shorter, but that doesn't really effect anything.
Here is a comparison with my still good passenger side.
Just have to cut some reliefs (like the stock bushing) and it will press fit right in. It won't snap in like the stock bushing because it doesn't have notches at the bottom but the press fit is very firm and tight without deforming the ID and effecting the pin clearance.
I got excited tapped the pin home and called it a day so no wrap up pic but its straight forward. No more POP POP every time the door is opened and closed, its silent with no movement at the pin.
