Hinges and bushings are worn to the point they need to be rebuilt. I'm sure they 

can be repaired if you choose to do so. I sent all 4 of mine to 
"Superbirdbod.com" and he rebuilt all 4 to perfection. It ran like 175.-200 and 
that was several yrs. ago. If you know someone you can get the parts and have it 

done cheaper. Bottom line is; they are worn and need replacing. Good luck!

Hey folks! I was wondering how difficult it is to repair a sagging door. It 
doesn't look like it's ever been in an accident, only that the hinges or 
bushings (?) are worn.

It doesn't outline the procedure in the service manual, only how to shim and 
align the door. Well, if it's worn, shimming up the door only puts a band-aid on 

the problem.

Is it as simple as putting a jack under the door for support, and pushing the 
hinge pins out, then dropping in new parts? Is it more difficult? Where would I 
get those parts? Are they pretty much generic parts, or are there even better 
replacement parts out there than originally came with the car?

Thanks in advance!
