can this be fixed? (hinge problem)

i took a closer look at my driver door lower hinge to see exactly why the door sags. i guess the hole on the door bracket is elongated as u can probably see in the pic. now i bought new bushings and pins but dunno if this will solve the problem. does the bushing go all the way into that hole on the bracket? i know on the top part its visible. but on the bottom all i see is the pin itself.

Have'nt had that problem, but the bushing does NOT go into the lower hole.Looks like you may have to install a bushing there perhaps, but you'll have to true the hole first or you can buil it up by welding around the hole.Then drill it round.You may have to remove your door though.Just installing the new bushing wont solve your door problem.
