Hi All,

A while back my hinge pin bushings must have failed. I never noticed it but then around Christmas the door got stuck and I forced it closed and pushed the spring out and bent the pin that holds the spring on the bottom of the hinge.

Obviously I need new hinge pins and bushings but I also need the pin that goes on the body side of the hinge with the little wheel that the spring bar? Rotates on.

I have the spring and two new hinge pins and I'm going to order the oversized bushings (thanks to this place I found them) but I'm not sure if I'm screwed with the the other pin being bent.

Here's a pic of my upper drivers side hinge:



It's hard to see in the pic but the bottom of right pin is bent towards the front of the truck. Do I need to get all new hinges now or is there a place to get that other pin? Or do I have to buy a whole hinge assembly to get that piece?

Thanks!
-John

 

No responses so far I guess I'm screwed ha! Even if I buy a new hinge assembly I'm not sure if that spring pin piece is removable.

Any advice here is appreciated!!

 

Found the piece on the total automotive site. Figured I'd post it here in case anyone runs into the same issue:
