Sagging door question

pea_jay · November 7th, 2009, 04:50 AM

The mustang drivers door on my car acts like the door pins are worn out, because the door sags when i open it. Can you just replace the pins and bushings on it or do i have to by the whole hinge? Its on a 2000 gt btw

Mine is doing the same thing...

ImpOnFire · November 7th, 2009, 10:44 AM

mine does the same thing honestly, lol.

i seem to have heard theres a bushing on the pins that wears out over time so I would just go with the pins. it takes a lot to have to replace the whole hinge

I'm at work right now...by my listing, they don't show a repair kit or seperate parts for the hinge. Chances are your near by dealer is gonna sell you the whole lower hinge.

You will need the whole hinge. They dont sell just pin and bushing kits for the newer vehicles. You might be able to find some that fit but i would just do a whole hinge

how much are they?

pea_jay · November 7th, 2009, 02:24 PM

cheapest ive found is 40 for the upper and 60 for the lower

LeadFoot_GT · November 7th, 2009, 02:30 PM

I can get em both for $74 for you if you want me to order them...just pm me.

Youll need a new lower hinge. As far as I know they dont sell the pin/bushing repair kits for these things.

HAHAHAHA we get this problem all the time at work and i also fixed 93hatchs 2003 mach1 because his passenger side door sagged. when you go to open it you have to give it that extra pull to get it open? they way we do it at work it check to see if the hindge is hitting the top or bottom get a towl and pull up hard if its sagging to low or roll down your window and put all your weight on the very end of the door easy fix and no money needed

My '04 Mach 1 does the same thing, and it only has 32,000 miles on it. It's a sad deal if you ask me. My '98 GT that had 170k on it didn't have this problem.

It kinda scares me that dealerships just crank on the doors to fix them when they are sagging. The chevy dealership was prying up on the door with a 2x4 when he saw them and told them to knock that shit off.

speaks da truff. My pass door stuck bad and this queer scared the shit out of me but completely fixed it

pyschopath76 · November 17th, 2009, 05:22 PM

man i would be pissed if i saw someone doing that to my ride, but wouldnt that stress the hinges and possibly make it worse later down the road???

dcook_14 · November 17th, 2009, 05:31 PM

I would think so but I guess it's kinda SOP for dealerships

pyschopath76 · November 17th, 2009, 05:39 PM

WOW!! lets just lean/pull on this door till we think it sits right!! doesnt seem like thats the kinda shit i wanna know about my dealership if you know what i mean.

Pretty typical of alot of dealerships though.

You sure its the door and not the chassis bent?
