door pin replacement.

not sure what subject this should be under but i guess it's body work. anyway i'm trying to replace the lower door pins the ones with the roller. and when i went to buy some new ones they all say they dont carry them. am i missing something? the ones i see on the shelf dont look the same but i was thinking its just an updated version. but the counter help is saying i need to contact the dealer ... huh. can someone please point me in the right direction?

thank you
brian

Re: door pin replacement.

I see you said the ones with the ROLLER...here is what your talking about...

As far as the other one goes, I changed it out. Worked perfect. Door no longer sags. I'm not sure if the bushings are the same as the factory originals as far as durability but we'll see. It really wasn't that hard to change out. May require smaller hands though. Luckily I had my friend Kelly(85_Tribute on here) help me out with that.

Check this thread: https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/body...oller-pin.html

I need them too, and seems like a big PITA for someone like me without any real shop tools
