Door hinges on 98 mustang

[swamprat]

My daughter has a 98 mustang. She called me the other day complaing about her doors. She said that she had to slam them to get them to close. She brought it over last night for me to look at. You have to lift up on the door to close them. I could pick up the latch end and move it up and down a few inches. I didnt have a light with me so I couldnt see the hinges to well. Looks like they just bolt on. How hard are they to swap out? Anyone done it? It felt like the hinge was just wore out.

not hard at all if there bolted on. but would require removing the door and removing all the wiring in the door. then aligning it all up. plus i think you will have to remove the fender to adjust the hinge once the door is bolted back up. but if your replacing the bushing and pins and reusing your old hinges i would drill aliment holes. make it alot eaiser to align the door. but be ware if the pins and bushing have been bad for a long time it will egg shape the hole in the hinge and the only thing yo can do is replace the whole thing.

i tried this on my dads gmc sonoma the hole was so wore out the new bushing wouldn't stay in and it didn't close any better.
