Door Hinge Repair Anyone?

My door hinges are starting to wear out and I found this repair kit on Ebay but it looks like a couple of bushings, a nut, and a bolt. has anyone used this kit? If anyone has any other good fixes for this please let me know. Here is the repair kit:

never tried them but my 01 needs a set on the drivers side.
i had a 69 roadrunner that ate door pins like it's favorite snack food, the doors on them were LONG and heavy.
I finally put a couple of hardened valve stems in for door pins and never replaced any after that.
if you try the ones on ebay, let me know how they work out.

Thanks for the info. I poked around in the door jamb some more and found that the star washer on the lower pin fell off and allowed the pin to almost pop out of its lower hole. A few light blows with the hammer and it's all better. I'll just have to keep an eye on it.

My hinges are good but the lower hinge on the drivers side is ripping out of the metal on my 92.

Joel, I had that happen on an'89. I just welded it up, but it would be better to get a whole door, I think.

I may have to go there but I hope not. Be tough to match up the two tone paint.
