Sometimes the door assembly wont lock in the second position. Make sure you check the door lock mechanism for a double lock. It may have a bad lock assembly. Just saying. Strikers normally wont hold the door that far out unless the bushing is completely gone. He did not post the striker so i cant tell. Just saying.

Yes the bushing will help. You should also notice that now when you shut your doors they'll go "CLUNK" and not "CLABLABAPPPPBBT" ;)
