Door Alignment

Doors are sagging -- is there a fix?? Doors are beginning to almost touch upper back corner of cab door frame -- does not look like the hinge placement can be adjustted so how do I fix the problem?? Could it be the pins that hold the doors in place in the hinge?? Are these so worn that it causes the sag??

Any help/info would be great.

Open your doors, grab the bottom of the doors and lift up. If you have excessive play, (can lift the door up more than just the slightest bit), you will need to either replace the door hinges or go and buy a "Door Hinge, pin and bushing kit".

The sell these pin and bushing kits in the Help section of most auto part stores.

Yes, there is play in the door -- I'll try the hinge/pin/bushing kit. Thanks for the info.
