Unfortunately it is the passenger side door, which is used more often
now to fail. Or is it the door you never use and it
failed because you opened it after a long hiatus? If it's the door you
never use, that tilts the balance more towards 'forget it'.

This weekend I will changing out the bushing on my steering idler arm.
Reviewing the service manual, I thought that the bushing need to be installed
in a certain orientation, because the bushing themselves have a red-band around
one portion od the outer diameter. The instructions do not mention
those bushings on my '95. I do remember that there is one or two
exhaust heat shields that you need to remove in order to get a good attack
