The plastic bushing fell apart on my 93 5.0 and I got the doorman replacement. I was careful to mark the exact location of the striker assembly before removing. When I put the new bushing on the the door closed, but would not open without force from the inside. I measured the existing passnger side bushing and found it to be about .672-.678. The new bushing was .688-.692. I jigged the new bushing up in my drill with a bolt, a nut and some washers and was able to sand the new bushing down to the size of the old one. Reassembled and it worked on the first try!

I threw a piece of plastic in the lathe and turned it down and drilled the center hole. Done
