My driver door is sagging real bad. Are there new hinges/hinge pins you can get to fix it?

 

you can buy a bushing kit at most any parts stores like a napa or autozone probably. i bought one at napa for about $5. can't recall if the kit had new pins or if it only had the brass bushings in it.

 

Just got two kits from the local Advance Auto and did both doors. They included the pins and bushings. Very easy to do.

 

I never had any luck with the repair kis. The hinges are still available through Mopar. I believe. I bought 2 new ones to have spares about 2 yrs ago.

 

Got some good used ones from Ram vans sitting in the boneyard. they are the same within a yearmodel or so

 

i fixed my pins and bushings... in a week they were junk again because the holes in the hinges were egg shaped. check for the shape of the holes. if they are good then you probably can get away with pins and bushings.

 

Thanks everyone. I got the bushing kit from my local auto parts store. Hopefully they work. If not, Ill get new hinges from mopar

 

Be sure to let us know how it works out. My dvrs door is hitting the pin rather hard and I druther fix the hinge than move the pin,

 

Take a look at the door skin also. The skin is very light and the backing plate for the hinge is small and can pull through the thin skin. I had to back up my hinge with a bigger plate then weld the skin where the small plate was pulling through

 

Checked with ma mopar today about hinges, 65-75 per hinge, but still availiable.

 

That is still not a bad price to pay for a smooth closing door.

just picked up a 92 gas job for scrap its got beautiful doors and fenders gotta strip it and put them on my truck and then scrap the rest .......to get to the top hinge i gotta take the dash apart to get it right?

 

no, there should be access to it from inside. It can be a pain to get to but it is possible.

 

I don think you need to remove the dash but it wont be much fun. Also a few months back I rebuilt my hinges with parts from ebay and they are working fine so far.

 

To take the hinges off mine, I would have to take the dash apart.
