About this part
tailgate on my 08 f150 would rattle and make all sorts of noise because the bushing on the tail gate latch catch (the stud that the latch grabs to hold it shut) was warn out, made one using abs and its completely silent now. the abs bushing is showing signs of wear from the gate being opened and closed so not sure how long it'll last so i printed one up using tpu as a back up to see if that works any better
