Door Sag

98_tang · Feb 12, 2018

My driver side door has been sagging a little bit and it's also pushed out to far in comparison to the passenger side door. I have tried adjusting the striker with no luck. Unsure what to do about it now. Any suggestions?

Replace door hing bushing or the entire hinge set up depending on whats broken.

Might just be the hinge pins

How can you tell? I might as well replace them right? She's got 118k miles on her now.

I used Dorman kit 38438 on my 98. I used a 15/32 drill bit which is 2 steps down from 1/2” in my set. I was able to drill the hinges and the bushings fit tight and the pin fit tight in the bushing.

What I like about this kit is that the pins are the perfect length and have e-clips to finish them off. Hope this helps

If you push up on the handle to open it does the door pop out as though its under pressure pushing it out? Check the window/body rubber seals along the edge and make sure that it has not slipped out and is in place. If it is then shut the door and look from the outside to be sure that the window is not going up too far. In my recent door/window seal adventure I found a vid at one point that showed this problem was being caused by the window going up too far and a simple adjustment to the window stop fixed it.
