When they sag how do you fix them? Both of mine are and are rubbing. How do you fix this?

 

Try picking up a new hinge pin with new bushings. Parts store should have em. They are pretty universal.

 

Should I do it or should I have a body shop to do it? If I should do it how do I do it?

 

It should be relatively easy if you have a door spring tool. You can pop the springs out without one but it'll be a real big pain to get the springs back in without the tool.

 

Make sure you get a buddy to help you, those doors can weigh up too 200 lbs.

 

Is there a tech section anywhere that you guys know of?

 

Somewhat of the same subject... I've got an '85 bird that the doors are beginning to sag too... Do all the doors have the pins/bushings. have been told that I need to replace the entire hinge.........

 

Many of you remember me from my 1LE brake upgrade posts.
But another pet peeve of mine is the sagging doors that plague all of our third gen cars. The lower hinge pins, and bushings are relatively easy to change. But the real problem is the upper hinges. I had to replace both upper hinges on my '82 Z28. This job is a real bitch. I am a Master mechanic, and I will never do that job again!
You see, the hinges are welded to the door, and to make matters worse! The pins, and bushings are not removable. I have come up with a simple solution to this problem. A pin, and bushing set to replace the factory ones. I can have them available for about $62.00 per upper door hinge. It only takes about an hour to install them. Anyone interested? I already installed them on my IROC. Very nice to have the doors close like new again.
