Default Sagging Doors - Which Pins/Busiings?

I have sagging doors and want to change out the pins and bushings on each side. I found a few different part numbers at autozone for what looks like the same part, which is the right part? And does this come as a set or 1 part per door?

1. Dorman/Door Hinge Parts (703-265) | 1996 Chevrolet Blazer 2WD 6 Cylinders W 4.3L SFI | AutoZone.com

or

2. Dorman/Door Hinge Parts (38419) | 1996 Chevrolet Blazer 2WD 6 Cylinders W 4.3L SFI | AutoZone.com


Thanks.

I think both of those are the same, just different brand, even though the weight is different (might be made out of something a big different) as for how many, you will need 2 of those per door, as each one comes with one pin, and 2 bushings.

You will also need to get a GM door spring tool; best price I found was at Harbor Freight Tools.

I got mine from napa for 19 bucks, since the bushings need to be replaced on these so often, it was a good buy

Don't be in too big a hurry there, Red. The spring just gets in the way the next time you replace the pins and bushings.

Do I need to replace the spring as well?

Do we have a part number for the GM door spring tool? I will pick one up this afternoon.

You dont have to replace the spring, and if you go to napa, they will be able to look in their catalog to find it if you tell them you need a door spring compressing tool

Can you do the pins without the door spring tool? Or is that required?

So I am looking at $30 for the pins and $19 for the tool, that isn't too bad.

Actually I found the part for $7.99 at Harbor Freight, can you guys confirm if this is the right part?
