Sagging Door: Fixed!!

My drivers door has been sagging for quite a while now. I started using more and more force to close the door. I then found this thread:

https://www.dieseltruckresource.com/...t=door+sagging

and decided to fix the problem before I do major damage.

So I replaced the door hinge pins using an O'Reilly hinge kit. I also repaired the detent bar that holds the door open. Now my door closes like new. Just a slight force to close. Really nice. Total cost: 2 kits at 6.79 each plus tax and a few hours labor.

If anyone is interested, I will do a write up with pictures. Pictues that is, once I figure out how to post them.

Sure do a write up. Lots of us have messed up hinges. Documentation of what you learned will help. I've fixed hinges on an old datsun z but had the hinges on the bench. Much easier to work on.

I'd like to see one, I know my door is sagging and doesn't close quite right.
