dante2 Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Driver side door check is broken inside the door. I need to replace but I would like to know if the after market ones are any good or would I be better off with a used one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eaglescout526 Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 These are door checks. These are still available from Chrysler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
500 MJ Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 If you can get one from the rear doors of a 4 door XJ they will work. The arm is the only item that needs to be swapped out, if you have a vice with some punches it is not a tough job to do it. The rear doors of XJ's were never used as much as the fronts, so the mechanisms are usually in great shape in the salvage yards... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warren Mohler Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 I would use OEM if price is reasonable, since 85 I have never seen one break, weak link is the pin and body side mount Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeep Driver Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Yes, they break. Get one for $5 at the PnP from a late model XJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But its great quality. My checks broke inside the door and it looked like just plain old age and corrosion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dante2 Posted February 13, 2020 Author Share Posted February 13, 2020 Can you use the rear door check in the front? I thought it was only the front door checks worked on either side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mechanisms are the same. 4 hours ago, 500 MJ said: If you can get one from the rear doors of a 4 door XJ they will work.

AZJeff Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 For an item that wears as much as a door check, I would not even THINK about using one from a junkyard when new ones are still available. I got mine from either Team Cherokee or Quadratec, I cannot remember which, but they were OEM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
