Default Door Sag

Hey guys. I'm having a problem with my drivers side door sagging a bit. It's to the point where it touches the fender when I open it and I hear a pop. I also have to pull the door shut pretty hard for it to latch. When I shut the door it straightens out, and as soon as I open it she drops. Do I need to replace the hinges, and if so where abouts can I get some new ones?

From how your describing it it sounds like the same problem on my passenger side.when you close it does it take some force?I'm starting to get annoyed with it.

its the pins and bushings in the hinges... there pretty easy to replace

first take off the door panel and unhook all the wiring and pull it out of the door
then unbolt the door and put it aside
grind off the top of the pin and use a screwdriver and hammer to get it out of the hinge
press the new bushings in with a clamp
install the new pin and secure with the supplied clip
bolt the door back on and get the wiring all back together along with the panel
enjoy you nice smooth moving door

ive done probably 50 doors there pretty easy id say a 3 out of 10 maybe 45 min per door for a novice mechanic


ohh you may wanna replace the strikers too as they wear with a sagging door

Any idea where to get the parts? I can't find the hinges themselves let alone a rebuild kit.
