Good day folks

I just bought 07 Fx35 and found that the doors making a knocking sound when i open any of em
I went to workshop and they Oiled/Greased it but none works
Eventually they told me you need to change the Small rod (check link assy)

The parts are not available at all in Saudi arabia i searched all dealers even for alternative solution but couldnt find any So i ordered the items from outside (80430-8Y90A for front doors & 82430-8Y90A for rear)

and lately when i received em and went to change it i found that my old check link assy and their nuts are totally different from the ones i brought even i bought by vin number

I looked for similar parts in WRECKED FXs junk yard but all turned to be like the ones i purchased
none looks like mine what to do ?? Please Help me guys the knocking sound is killing me

images down there to make it clear what kind of troubles im facing

I know the feeling. Bought replacement door handles and escutcheons which apparently fit all fx's except mine. Must be the 03 year.
Anyway...I'd pull a door panel off and make absolutely certain that in no way will they fit. Take a photo of your original one in place and then the new one held up to the old one while the old one is still in the door. Call the place you ordered them from and get their email address. Send them the photo's and ask;
1. How do your tech's make these fit?
2. If they don't make them fit and these are wrong, I need to return these.
Then, I'd study the old one's and try to determine just how all 4 are knocking cause that's some really odd shit. Perhaps once you figure that out you can rig them in some way.
 
OP, I wanted to ask if you have confirmed that indeed your check links are bad.
Typically, the nuts fall off the studs holding the assembly to the door and that renders them useless.
The knocking is just due to being unsecured to the door shell. It will be self-explanatory once you look at it and push/pull it.

I have seen that happen in more than one instance and in one case one stud was broken (driver side, I assume due to more repeated use)

I am not well versed with this platform so I am of little help with the parts, but I can attempt a repair. If all else fails, borrow the one from the passenger side and use it on the driver side (unless ALL doors are that bad)
