i need to fix the doors before i get the car painted. does anyone know how to fix the sagging door problem?

 

Yes-depending upon your situation, the most probable cause of the sagging is the bushings going bad and basically disinigrating. There was a detailed article on High Performance Pontiac a while ago showing how to fix this problem-check their website at highperformancepontiac .com and see if they have an archive-if not, I'll email you the pages. You basically need two hinge pins for the lower, four hinge pins for the upper, and 6 new bushings. Then you take off the hinges, and the doors, and replace the parts. Then re-align everything with things like the body mouldings as guides. Your dealer should sell all of these or be able to get them. You can also get them at top-downsolutions.com---Chris

 

ok can i do it cheap? top down solutions wants like 5 bucks for the pins then like 100 bucks for the bushings.

 

ive seen the web site of the person who makes the hinge repair kits. where does top down solutions get the repair kits from. i remeber there is a deal on the web site of the guy that makes the bushings for buy one pair get one free.

 

I'm not real sure, my friend-I was under the impression, and still am since getting the parts for under $20 from my local dealer, that this is a job you can do in about a day. As for a "deal" or "special" I haven't the faintest idea. As I said, I got the parts-including bushings, hinge pins and detent rollers, (because mine needs to be replaced), for around $20.
