Door hinges- have rebuilt or buy repop?

Do them all! Its easy and cheap. Once you get the door removed (mark with a pencil around the hinge on the doorshell) from the hinge begin by knocking the original pin out from the bottom upwards. You may need to find the correct drill bit for the size of the new brass bushings outer diameter. Drill the part of the hinge left on the pillar. Knock the new bushings into the top and bottom of this part of the hinge. Take the top part of the hinge that bolts to the doorshell and give it a little squeeze in the vise and test fit onto the part of the hinge left on the pillar. You want a tight squeeze here. Once you get the hinge tight drive the new pin in from the top. All the hinges are done the same way. Install the door and your done. You may or may not need to readjust the hinge where it bolts to the pillar! If so the top hinge is a little tricky with the dash still in the car but can be done with patience.


No offense but Don't do that!

I have seen and fixed many hinges that people have installed the bushings in, it's going to lead to problems down the road when the hinge housing cracks because you over drilled it for the bushing!!! (not to mention that does nothing to fix the detent which is also part of the problem)

I do offer one hinge rebuilds pm me if interested.

Yes you can buy reproduction hinges, but why? They aren't as tight as mine and they cost more..... I also use only genuine made in North America original Mopar hinges with all made in USA parts. (where are the repops made?)

I would recommend at least a fully rebuilt lower hinge as for the upper the bushing kits are what you need, obviously it won't be blasted and epoxied primed but you can leave it on the car and put new bushings in and a new pin.

I also offer a core exchange program so you can do the job done in one day and then ship back your core at your convenience. Yes I would be happy to sell you the pin and bushings for the top one too for cheaper then you will find online, show me the best price you can find online and I will sell it for $1.00 cheaper and you won't have separate shipping.
