Door Hinge Repair
I'm replacing the front door hinge pins/bushings on my '68 Dart. I purchased a Dorman kit P/N 38382 to facilitate repair. Rockauto says this is the correct kit.
The upper hinge presented no problems, and the pins and bushings fit correctly.
When I disassembled the lower hinge, there was no evidence of bushings, only worn pins. When I attempted to install the bushings, I found that their diameter was too large to fit the hinge holes. The pins are the correct length, but fit loosely in the hinge holes, and appear to require suitable bushings.
Does the lower hinge require bushings?
Does this kit have the wrong bushings?
If so, where do I source the correct bushings?
