I’ve adjusted mine many times using cheap bushings, but it still won’t close and seal like the original MBZ strike plate. For such a simple part, I could never figure out the cause. JY bushings are probably better than new Chinesium in this case
My Car was involved in a hit and run on that side and the rear door is a used replacement door. Also for right not slamming closed and it stays locked will have to do as I have pulled the alternator off to replace a noisy bearing and found the slip ring was pretty bad.
Now it is sitting in the drive way waiting for a new slip ring to arrive. Door adjustment is going to have to wait.

Also the one in the thread is the original door striker that was on the car when I bought it.
