Door hanging low
#5
Like was mentioned, most parts houses have the rebuild kit of the pin and the bushings.
I had a door where the pin had eaten through the bushing and into the hinge itself.
Luckily, the new bushing still fit without rattling around, there was just a section of the hinge that normally traps the bushing that was missing now. Once I had it all installed but still had the weight of the door held up by a floor jack, I used some of that 2 part steel epoxy that comes as a stick where you cut off what you need and just knead it together to make it cure. Then it was just a matter of packing it into the void so the bushing once again had support in that area and didn't get torn up again too easily.
