Sagging doors: Repair or replace hinges?

[Kaptain Klang]

The front Passenger door has the dreaded sag. I understand this is due to the hinge pins wearing down. Can these be replaced, or does the whole hinge need replacing?

I did try the search; it returned about a million results, not all about hinges

Plank of wood and a twisty jack.

Place the wood under the sill of the door when the door is open.

Jack under the wood

Presto!

Low Tech Solutions. I did read the thread you posted. Thanks.

I found it was a temporary fix for me. My hinges were very bad though.

If it's sagging a little, then low-tech is the way forward

Perfect, though I did just lift the door up by hand whilst it was open, did the trick!

the hinge/chassis bolt hole has a slight amount of adjustability

Hold the door where it is and lower the car...

...yep.

My door drops about 5 or 10mm. I need new hinges :/
