my drivers side door handle interior and exterior have always had extra play in them. tonight i got ambitious and went to replace my door handle. i got it back installed, and im having the same exact problem.
the door handle opens just like the passenger side which is perfect, but when it gets to that release point, its like it flexes a little more before it opens. so it feels like the handle is going to damn near snap off. it opens just fine if you put a little pressure going into the door. my interior handle is identical to it, so i have narrowed it down into the one piece that all linkage goes to.
is this a common failed item? im not quite sure what to buy to fix this. somehow though its not tentioned enough for the handles, or some linkage is stretched possibly? any input on this?
im just pissed i took all the time for the handle and hunted down the bolts/nuts for nothing
