How much for a new door pin and bushing?

The drivers side door the lower pin and bushing is worn out. To shut the door easily you have to lift up on it and shut it, otherwise you have to slam it. It also looks like a spring is missing(there's one on the pass. side) How much will it cost to replace? If you don't know what I'm talking about I can take a pic of it.

You can also purchase the lower hinge pin and busings from TDS. It is TDS 201080. You'll need a GM Door Spring Tool to re-install the door detent spring (or in your case the missing spring).

Before you do anything, have someone lift on the end of the opened door and release it while you're inspecting the upper and lower door pins for movement. If you have movement in the upper hinge pins, then replacing just the lower hinge pins and bushings isn't going to solve your problem. From your description, the upper hinge pins need to be replaced also.

Thanks.

The upper pin looks fine, but since it's not that much I might aswell replace it too... I haven't checked the pass side but I will do that aswell.

And with that spring tool, my grandfather has one of those. He used it when replacing his pins and bushings on his s10, would that work for my Camaro too?
