ok so i just thought i would run this buy you guys, i called my local ford dealers where i bought my car, keep in mind i get 25% off all parts and labor, my door hinge has been on my list of things to fix, so i asked them how much it would cost to replace the drivers side hinges, they quoted me 400-450, to me that sounded absurd but idk maybe thats right because of the labor being you have to take the door off? but i looked up the parts and both hinges are a little less than 100 for both, they come in steel/aluminum? either way it wouldn't bother me if it wasn't painted since my car is metallic silver and you really wouldn't notice unless you looked at the hinges but idk why you would, but is this a job i should do myself or should i just shut up and shell out the $ and have it fixed? thanks guys

 

How about just replacing the hinge pins and brass bushings for $7 a piece? It's easy, jsut take 2 sets of hands

 

can i get them at autozone or something? and how do i know thats the problem or is that what it usually is? sorry if i sound ignorant but i don't know much about the hinges, not sure how i would go about replacing them either, thanks for the help tho!

 

The pins and bushings are best to get at the dealer. It's the pivot for the hinges. Just do a google search and there are quite a few sites that will give you a good idea of how to do it.

 

my driver side door has that problem too, where it doesnt shut all the way if you dont slam it, haha, i might look up some of the tutorials on google like you said and see what i can find

 

sorry but all i could find was how to replace them on old fox bodies but nothing on the new edges, but would a dealer have just the pins and bushings? sorry for the dumb questions but im still learning lol

 

Its rare that the entire hinge needs to be replaced, unless its damaged/bent. Open the door and push/pull it up and down and see if it moves at all. If it moves at the pins, then replace the pins and the bushings. If the entire hinge moves, then see if its just a loose bolt.

Replacing the pins is pretty much a universal process. It takes two people. One to hold the door up, and the other to play with the pins. Here is a good video:

Is this worth it or just a bunch a bull???

I would just use a punch to remove them. The fox body hinges are the same, in theory, not exact same, so a fox tutorial should do fine.
