Re: Success rate of hinge repair with just pins and bushings?

Wallered/hogged/egged, nothing new here to this Eastern WA farmboy.

I have put...3 sets? I think, of Dorman hinge pins and bushings in, and I have one thing to say. DO NOT BUY THAT CHEAP SH!T. They wear out fast, even when lubed regularly with a lithium spray. We put new pins/bushings, and a new striker set into a couple of trucks, in less than a year the doors were dragging on the striker bolts, and everything was adjusted beautifully when we replaced the parts.

I went and bought GM everything for my '83 a few years ago and the quality is so much better, very much worth the blue and white box with the blue square.
