Door hinges
Hi,
My front left door hinges are showing signs of wear. Can anyone tell me. Are they pins or do I need to replace the hinge on the door? |

Usually the drivers side that wears first, but you will probably have to replace the hinge on the door, IIRC the other part is welded to the A pillar, if the hole in that's worn to excess...could be in trouble

The part of the hinge on the door frame A pillar is welded in with a couple of spot welds which can tear out, there is a fix for it which involves drilling out the spot weld and replacing with a 6mm bolt and some big washers if I remember correctly.
