Door hinges...not the lower door pin this time
I was trying to figure out where the play in my door is coming from and finally found it to be the upper hinge of the door. There is just a slight amount but enough so the door gets caught up on its swing if its opened all the way. What can i do about this? Is there supposed to be some play in that hinge? Does this door just needs to be readjusted or do i need to yank the door and replace that upper hinge?

Common problem, you need to replace the upper hinges and bushings. Check these out, worked great for both my doors.

Wow that is some expensive stuff. I already have the lower bushings and hinges as well as some smooth bushings that look like they might be for the top. Not sure as these came with a former car and ive just held on to them.
