My drivers door is beginning to creak. Thanks for the heads up on that. I guess I will just go ahead and replace the front. It seems like there is only 1 part #....Are they all the same for Left vs right?
For tightening the bolt on the door panel side of the door, what position should the door be at? Closed/1st/wide open?
