Anyone done pins and bushings on there 3rd gen doors?
Just wondering if anyone has changed them. Mydoors are sagging and rubbing the skirt. Is it difficult to change the pins and bushings? Any suggestions on how to keep proper door alignment when putting the doors back on?

Its worth every penny to get that kit. I am very happy with the results. After I installed the kit I didn't have to adjust the doors at all to get them to line up. They were brought back exactly to factory specs and close tight. They open without the "drop".
Just be sure to follow the directions exaclty and don't force a bushing into the hole or else your door will be tight {hard to move} opening and closing.
I'll give you a tip, if your doing both doors at the same time, do the passanger side door first so that you get the hang of it, you'll be a pro by the time you get to the driver side.

Did mine last weekend with andy's kit. Wasnt too hard to install, well I watched as my dad and cousin put the new pin and bushings in on the driver's side door. Noticed a difference as soon as I shut the door. I might need to adjust the striker bolt a little bit, but over all its a great improvement, no more sagging door! :lala:
