You need the whole hinge, or just the pins ??

Any discount parts-house will have the pins in the DORMAN/HELP stuff.

If your hinge is just too loose then you can replace the bushings in there that you can find at your local auto parts store. Thats what i did and it only took around 20min. and only costed me $3 bucks. It worked well for mine. hope this helps

No cutting, just beat 'er out. I left the door on and did it in the driveway with the gf's help. If that tells you how easy it is.

The bushings area brass and they are porris (little holes..bad spelling) Hold the bushing on the tip of your finger and fill it with engine oil till its full. Then squeaz with another finger and your other hand. Most of the time you can see oil come out of the sides of the bushing. The same is supposed to be done with brass pilot bushing when doing a clutch other wise you end up with a squeak. This just help prolong the life of the door pin bushings.

I just did one at a time. You can lean the door just enough to chnge them. That's where the help comes in. Mine were pretty loose though.

Every set I have done on a Dodge required me to LOOSEN--NOT REMOVE the bolts that hold the top (or was it the bottom??) hinge to the door.

This was required to be able to get the pins all the way out, without riding hard against the sheetmetal of the doors.

That was the top one. it makes no matter. If the pins are really loose, you will have to adjust the door to make it fit right and close right anyway.

Are these bushings (or absence thereof) the reason there is so much slop in my lower door hinge? The pin is in a hole which is WAY too big for it. I'm guessing the bushing wore out?

Either worn-out, or completely gone.

dang it! about a year and a half ago I spent a large sum of money on a new driver side door hinge! If only I'd have know that I could just replace the bushings for a few bucks.... oh the things I learn
