stop it before it starts? is it possible?

i am really worried about getting the saggy doors on my camaro, right now they are fine but the passanger side feels more heavy compared to my driver side and dont want to ever have them sag like on my bird (PITA) anyway i was wondering if there is anything i can do make sure this will not happen, like tighten the bold or something??? as of now i will never let anyone lean on my doors when open, i dont even let the door just sit open lol..oh also slamming the doors could it cause the sagging i always make a not to people to never slam my door? if anyone gots info on how to make sure they will never sag please let me no.
thanks

All I can say is that your best bet would be to just replace the hinges with new ones, as well as new strikers.

Another would be to remove any un-necessary weight from the doors to ease the load.

Otherwise, you seem to be "babying" them, which cant hurt.

you can replace what wears with the setup from TDS (see link at top of page.. center "box" )

if you get the greasable ones, they make the door amazingly smooth and easy to open....



athough this fix is the same thing you would do if they were worn.... but you're just doing it now instead of later...
