RE: door sag

RE: door sag

I HAD the same problem but some guy was rebuilding my tranny and realized that my doors were sagging so he fixed them for me. I know that he told me he changed the bushings but not sure what else he did. Probally the pins. That should solve the problem. Good luck!

I had an '80 and it's doors sagged big time! I replaced the pins/bushing with a buddy and it solved that problem!

RE: door sag

replacing pins wont do it, bushings sometimes will, what happens on some, is that ford glues their hinges on not bolt.. and sometimes the hinge pulls out from the body some, i put mine back in place correctly and welded it.. perfect now.
