Door Hinges

[DetroitBronco]

I have a 96 Bronco. I know my door hinges are worn out. What's the tell tale for whether I need new hinges or just new pins and bushings?

i was tolded that you couldn`t buy bushing for a Ford. the only why you could fix them is to buy new one or used one.hope it helps. if you find out anything abut them let me know. i need to replace the ones on the driver side door.

Jeff's Bronco Graveyard here in Michigan has the Pin/Bushing kit. I'm just trying to figure out if that will do the trick, or if my hinges are hosed too.

Is there any way to replace the spring (the one that keeps the door from falling closed and looks like a big S) without replacing the hinge? Mine snapped in half.

or go to local parts place or auto body repair shop and ask for the spring, etc.

usually the pin/bushing goes South due to crud & lack of ****; we use lithium grease
