has anybody repaired the lower driver side hinge? if so what worked and what didnt. my doors getting to the point were it wont close unless i lift it to slam it shut, help please

 

you want the easy and cheap fix or the correct and good fix?

Correct way is to replace door hinge bushings.

Easy way, take two washers and stick them under the bolts on the bottom hinge. This causes the door to lift up just enough so it closes correctly. Takes literally 5-6 minutes to do .

Whats wrong is the doors bushings go bad and cause the door too sag. Therefore its gotta take more force for the door to lift up to the latch on the inside.

 

when i lift from the bottom of the door you can move the hinge pin around, looks like the pin had totally outa rounded the hinge after it destroyed the bushing

 

Yea you can buy pin and bushing sets im pretty sure. You just gotta knock the old ones out and replace them. I've been told its pretty easy.

Shouldn't cost you too much. Since you said they are rounded out, than id change em.
