Lately my two front doors have started to sag real bad, to the point that i had to convince a guy riding with me that the doors werent locked they were just hung. Does anyone else have this problem? Or know how to fix it?
Im good friends with a guy that owns a real good body shop but i was gona see if there was anything i good do at home first.

I just replaced my pins and bushings in my drivers door.
It wasnt too bad, as long as you have two sets of hands or an engine lift or other type of lift to hold the door. Took my wife and I about 20 minutes. The biggest pain was tapping the bottom pin in. Otherwise, it was pretty simple.
Now I have to do my passenger door. Mines like Big Blue, it thinks its lacked and anyone who tries to get out thinks its locked to.

I managed to change my drivers door pins and bushings last year by myself, and I am so not mechanically inclined. But I did use a hoist leg and some rope to hold up the door for me in place of the lovely assistant.

I followed this video:

It took me way longer than the 9 minutes shown though.. IIRC it took me a few hours. Don't laugh, remember I've never done this before. I had to do it myself because the shop was too busy with paying customers. sigh...


If I could do it myself, so can you guys....

I had the same problem napa sells a kit for the doors (pins and bushing) and had a local shop put them on for me, I didn't feel like dealing with it they charged $95 bucks that was like 3 months ago they open and close mint.
