Hood and Door Hinges on a Duster

[Jim Kueneman]

Couple questions. If I release the springs for the hood hinges is there a tool or video on how to get them re-wind up to install them?

Door hinges. I expected that I would need to rebuild the hinges since on a B-Body they are always wore out. Neither the Duster nor the Dart parts car seem to have any play in the door hinges. It it normal for the A-Bodies not to have wore out hinge pins since the door are no where near as heave as the B-Bodies?

Every car is different. Different owners, different amounts of use, etc.

If your hinges have no play, no need to rebuild them.

The hinges on my 75,000 mile 72 Duster were in great shape except for the star rollers, which were ruined with rust . I purchased new lower hinges on E bay for about 35$ each from Richard Ehrenberg (Mopar Action dude). That was a couple of years ago. Might be tough to find that deal now.
