My friends, I'm trying to understand the bushings that are on these tailgates. I'm confused on part #17 and #1 on the diagram. I just ordered two of the #17; those are the bushings that sit on the bed and the pivots (#5/#16) slide into (hence why it says 2 for quantity). I'm just confused as to what the #1 is for on the diagram. It says you only need one (1) of them? Right hand side only? It's weird because when I look up the part number it looks like what I just ordered (2nd photo). Again, I'm just confused on whether or not I need to replace another part (#1) or if I am missing it all together? I'm replacing this #17 because the tailgate has a fair amount of play when rocking it left to right but more so it squeaks like mad going down the road. I can't say that this will fix the left-to-right looseness of the tail gate but I'm fairly certain it will fix the squeak; I narrowed it down to that spot. It is latching just fine after I adjusted the strikers on it. I'll add more to this if anything comes to my mind. I mainly drive with my rear slider open so this had to get fixed before I went postal from Jiminy Cricket squeaking away in my tailgate.
