Drivers door
Any one have a factory schematic of the drivers door.Years back the catch that hold the door from slamming shut(wind) broke and I would like to replace it .The roller is still in place.I cannot find the s type clip that this 85 uses any where .Though not necessary it is helpful.TR

I think it would be easier to get the whole hinge than trying to replace that S part but that's me.
Dose LMC or DC or NPD list the part? It may only be a dealer item?
BTW both of my doors will close by wind.

LMC or Npd have it listed or can I find a number for this particular hinge(PERTAINING TO MY YEAR 150) .Must be a dealer only item because all hinges listed are for my year truck but do Not include the s clip. As noted above what Number Dummy posted its for ford lincoln mercury cars 1980-1989.TR

I found it on ebay. It was a Ford dealer that has NOS parts. Here is the link. https://www.ebay.com/itm/36214079632...0AAOSw-5dZ8NXS Yes it says Fairmont, but it is the same.
Part number is D8BZ5422886A
This part is a bear to install with door in place. We ended up having to loosen the door hinges to get it in and maybe some fender bolts. But we did get it in there. And it works correctly. Getting it turned right and installed was tough for my son & me. I may have taught (or reinforced) some new words that day.
Might be easier to use the newer style hinge? Newer style doesn't have the S Spring in it.

Probably. Been almost a year since I did and not sure why I didn't at this point. Might have been much easier? It might have LOOKED simple enough. LOL.

I haven't seen the 'S' spring listed for sale, but Rockauto have these replacement hinges available with a different style of detent spring & roller......
https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo...t=1377&jsn=562
I think most of the original springs break, at least on the drivers door....mine has too.

Thanks Ken, every bit of info helps ,even for future reference as many of our trucks are old enough for this pesky problem to occur . I know on my 92 bronco it does not have the s type springs ,so ,somewhere between years they changed to the type rock auto stocks .As much as I purchase from Rock , never thought to look there.I thought Dealer only item .TR

Got my s spring for the drivers door as the installed went good .Removed the door 4 bolts (door),installed s spring ,reinstalled door Chose the S spring as my door roller was still there. Yes rock auto has the new type hinges with detent ,but chose the s spring as I thought new hinge would be harder with alignment . (new-parts are always a pita)Thanks for pointing out the parts on eBay and rock auto .I still do not understand why this S spring is listed for older vehicles( Fairmont etc…)and not for our bullnose fords, but it’s good knowing new hinges with the detent may be purchased if necessary!
