door hinges
Re: door hinges
Front doors I believe are but backs are different from what I can tell. Don't quote me on that. I can look closer for you if someone doesn't know for sure.

My doors are hanging low. Would a pin kit fix that? Ive looked at the hinge and noticed that the roller is broken on both (driver/passanger). The hinge it self is fine, it opens and closes with no problem but just the door needs to be pushed up to close tight. Where is a good place to get them?

Re: door hinges
First place I would check is the HELP! section in O'reilly Auto, Autozone, etc. for hinge kits. Usually they come with the pins, rollers, & any other related hardware. If you can wiggle your door up & down while opened then this is likely your culprit.

Re: door hinges
WOW! just installed the new pin kits, well just the drivers side since I found out how HEAVY these doors are I nearly killed myself,ha. What a huge difference, the door just swings open and shuts with one finger! The door striker loves it too, it was taking a beating before.

Re: door hinges
Mmm my doors shut hard they seem like they dont have any extra play in em. Would the door striker and latch be my culpit passeger side striker stud looks like its gone a few rounds.

Re: door hinges
If the door lines up with the body OK, maybe the striker bolt on the door post needs to be moved a bit. I just loosen them enough that they can be tapped/moved with a small hammer, to find the right spot to let the door latch work right, and inboard enough to get the door closed tight etc.

Re: door hinges
I will give that a try tomarro. The passenger side seems to open stiff as well. I have been doing little things here and there. When i got my car the steering will was all torn apart and that was fun getting it back together.
