Door striker pin

Quick one! If the door striker pin bush is rotating, is it knackered? Passenger door always needs a hefty slam and striker pin bush is loose and spins.

Never really looked closely at mine but probably designed to spin so as to take the friction wear off the striker and door lock latch . That`s looking from a purely mechanical engineers view point 🤓

The sleeve on the pin is designed to rotate freely as Chuffer says. If the door needs a slam the latching mechanism in the door probably needs adjustment. If the car has had new door weatherstripping recently that can make closure more difficult.

Ok cheers. Driver door shuts ok and the bush is solid. Will mess about some more next time I'm with the car.
