Door Adjustment

Slykin · Nov 26, 2009

My problem is that I need to get my door adjusted after putting new hinges on it. I know I should have just put new pins and bushings in but... too late for that. Anyways, i'm tired of dealing with this door and i'm wondering about how much it would cost to have a bodyshop adjust it for me. If it's cheap enough i'll let them do it. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not sure if a body shop will adjust the door with worn out bushings.. Sort of like them painting over a dented body panel..
You and a friend or two might be able to tackle the job, shouldn't take more than an hour and a 30 pack.

My pins and bushings are fine.. I put all new hinges with the pins and bushings in already. The problem is after putting the hinges on the door is way too high and I can't roll my window up all the way. It also screws up my body lines.. a lot. I'm just tired of messing with the dang thing. It was hell getting the hinges on in the first place.

you should be able to adjust right at the hinge loosen the hinge on the door and you should beable to slide it down if you cant get enough adjustment in that side loosen the body side and just be careful, check recheck then secure.

That's my problem. It's so off that the hinges need adjusting on the body side. Which means i'm going to have to take my door off. Again. I guess I can do it, did it to change the hinges out but do you guys have any guess at what it would cost? With all the mess it was to get the things on there I'm reaaally tired of that door lol.
