Door hits pin?


You can get hinge rebuild kits at the part store. Either that or find another good used hinge.

I've done both. I highly recommend the door hinge pin and bushing renew. My drivers side door lined up and worked like brand new. I didn't need to adjust anything. I replaced the 2 rubber bumpers on the door also.
The passengers door is due for the same service.

Pin and bushing, check O'reillys, napa. It can get aggravating. On a 69, we had to buy 2 kits. The original pin wouldn't work with the bushing. Bought another and got po'd. (one kit was bought on-line).
So we took all, found a pin and bushing that were tight, drilled out the hinge, cut down the head of the bushing, then it all worked.
