how do you guys fix your sagging doors? mine hits my ground effects every time i close it and the paint is starting to scrape off. i already maxed out the adjustment on the bolts so thats not an answer. how do you guys fix it?

 

you probably need new bushings... check the tech articles on the home page. i think it tells you how to fix it there.. if not, i would just take the door off and check for bad spots, such as rust, and fix it.

that **** is so *** damned expensive.

 

from what i hear at some body shops-the easiest way is to get under your door and lift it a bit w/ your hands-

 

i dont think that would help if the bushings are ****ed... if you live near an Applied industrial Technologies building or a Bearing and Transmission you can get a bushing to replace the existing one for a dollar... i wokr there. i know

 

DITTO that!!


Hook a brotha up!!!

 

that **** works if your car needs it. Don't gripe until you try it.

But hey, I bought it thinking my doors needed it...turned out my doors were just sagging (the pins and bushings weren't out). I took it to the body shop and the guy fixed it in 5 minutes with a big pry bar looking tool. so now I've got a set of these things I paid 125 bucks for....and can't use them.

 

Well, $150 per door (2 kits needed per door if I read correctly)...that's $300 for both doors... Or am I missing something?

Ouch!

I'm pretty sure I need 'em since my car doors 'bounce' as they are closed...feels like slop in the bushings to me.

 

nah - the price for them is like 75 each. That comes to a total of 150. I got in on a group purchase way back when.

hey if you want these things, email me and we'll work a deal. I have to pay for a ticket I just got.

 

We dont know whats really wrong with his car it could be his bushings & pins need to be replace & thats a $15.00 fix job.

 

Mine?

I'm pretty certain. If you lift on the door, it moves pretty easily.

 

I was talking about rockfourone. Because I have the same problem with my 82 pace car & its jsut pens & bushing problems just have to get out there to do the work since I have everything here to do it.

 

yeah that sounds like a decent soulution. thanks guys. it really doesnt bother me a whole lot but the door is stating to scrape the paint off my rocker panel. and that just pisses me off.

 

there is like a 2 page step by step prossess on the tech artical page on this site i found it maybe 2 months ago by just browsing through them i printed it off just incase my doors start to droop i can fix them but yea it said something about bushings needing replaced.
