A plastic striker bushing on the liftgate (tailgate) of my '96 Ford Explorer broke into several pieces. Dorman came to the rescue with this inexpensive kit. It includes both liftgate bushings.
I didn't have a big enough Torx tool to remove the tailgate striker. So I used channel lock pliers instead. Not the ideal tool, but it got the job done. No strikers were harmed in the making of this repair.
Pros: Fits '96 Explorer. Low cost.
Cons: None. But keep in mind that a Torx tool is recommended for the installation.
