Aren't you one of the Soggy Bottom Boys ?
you are sooooo new to cars lol
yes fix this it is VERY VERY DAMN IMPORTANT IT WILL LEAVE YOU WALKING
how important in that spring? I had my bushings done by a friend a month or so ago. The pin actually came out on me and from the looks of it I didn't have a door spring on the door. This was never mentioned to me so is this essential to have one put in? Could this be the reason why my pin fell out?
I’ll just spray my bushings in some nitrous quick freeze
THANK YOU! Man you have saved me nearly $100! Shop was going to charge me that much to do this job on my drivers side door. After watching this, I can 100% feel comfortable doing this myself. Don't know why I thought it was so hard to do this…But anyway, thank you again! Great demonstration.
Great video on how to
I believe these would not wear out so often if we lubricated them occasionally….I have seen some that look like they haven’t been oiled or greased in decades!
Such abuse and neglect of reality by many
Well done. I'm going to do my '68 Dodge Dart hinges. I plan to remove the doors to facilitate the job. You could have lubricated the pins prior to installation to ensure smooth, quiet operation and a longer life.
My door hinge seized and started to rip away alittle at the top hinge. I have a new hinge to install, any ideas to help the ripped metal:/?
@humblemechanic On your bolt washer method for the bushings – you should try putting a short socket on the opposite side, use a longer bolt and you'll have enough room to use the bolt and washer to send the bushing home the whole way without using a hammer/punch at the end. 🙂
Replacing the hinge pins and bushings on my S-10 also solved the water ingress issue… no more mysteriously wet carpet.
Even the slightest wear and play at the hinges translates to quiet a bit of misalignment at the top of the door frame where it meets the roof line, allowing water past the upper door seals. This type of leak is often incorrectly blamed on the sunroof if the vehicle has one. I have mentioned this to several people who were chasing what they thought were sunroof leaks that ultimately turned out to be leaky door seals due to worn hinge pins and bushings.
