!!HELP!! '00 Blazer Door Sag+Extra
 
1 Attachment(s)
Ok well guys this is my first post on this site, my 2000 Chevy Blazer LT 4WD driver door is sagging when its shut and the door panel broke in half due to it being a sag. I heard its the hinge bushing thats causing the door to sag, and just wondering where i can get the new bushings and a tan door panel?

New bushings, pins & possibly the spring & the spring removal/installation tool can be found at most GM dealerships or places like www.rockauto.com, JCwhitney.com, auto parts places etc. As for the door panel start hitting the wreckers pick-n-pull etc. Craigs list, in here perhaps with anyone parting out a blazer.

if its sagging that bad i hope the hings isnt egg shaped where the bushing goes....thats a whole other problem to conquer first

Yup, if the hole is rounded or elongated then the hinge has to be replaced & they're riveted on... sounds like a PITA of a job.

so what do you guys recommend? and i hope its not egg shaped neither cause i dont have the money to get the whole assembly

My hinge holes were egg shaped enough that the new bushing would slide side ways, read on here someone glued them in with JB Weld, I figured why not try it, worst it could cost is a pin kit at about $5, so i glued in the bushings and reinstalled the door, That was 3 months ago and it is still holding up, would have never believed it until I seen it for myself, but so far so good

yup guys its egg shaped...:/ any idea on prices of a new hinge top and bottom?

Try the jb weld fix.
might have to do a search for hinge price...i think lmc truck may have them.

Yeah TRY it, personally I dont hold much hope in it. Seems more like a bandage than a repair/fix. Only issue I see with the new hinges are the old ones are riveted in. grinding them out in that confined space may be a pita but a Dremel or die grinder should take care of it.
Installing the new ones... that depends on the kit & how it's layed out. I have no idea what they offer but I have to look into it because the spring dropped out of my DS door & the wind took the door one day bending the hinge.
