Tired of slamming my door

[TX '73]

My passenger door sags a little when open. I can't tell (visually) what should be replaced, hinges / back plates/ strikers? When I shut the door hard it shuts flush so I think the striker and latch is fine. If anyone has some insight I'd appreciate it. But if I don't slam it, it won't shut all the way. I'm sure this is common.

Also WH's has hinges for 109$

Tom's has hinges for 39?

Not really interested in quick release...is there any difference in WH's hinge and Tom's hinge? Is 109$ a typo?

Thanks.

The hinge pins are the culprit

This is one prob. that leads to another & another, .....The pins usually won't come out.....the bolts tend to snap off.

You can re-build yours (mini machine shop)

or

Tom's has them, re-built hinges/plates @ $45/$18

when the door is open can you move it up and down? if it does can you tell where it is moves from? if you can tell that the bolts are secure then more then likely it is coming from the hinge pins. you may try and rebuld the hinges. most of the bronco sites have a rebuild kit that will do all 4 hinges for around 20 bucks.

IT's actually pretty snug, when I move it up and down. You may have something with the pins. Sounds like I need to just bite the bullet and rebuild the hinges. Thanks
