Here's how to fix a droopy car door by replacing worn out hinges.Loose door hinges are caused by bushings that drop out of the pin, or a worn pin. This causes play in the hinge, witch can translate to a large drop in the door height, and the door not aligning properly with the latch.
Replacing the door latch is the easiest solution. Hinges can be sourced from the dealership or from a junkyard as in this case.
Hinges are hidden behind the fender, which needs to be removed completely to gain access to the bolts connecting them to the body. To remove the fender, the inner fender liner, headlight and bumper must all be loosed to make way.
The main tool required for removing the body panels are a 10mm socket. The door hinges use a 12mm bolt, one of which may be accessed using a ratcheting wrench. Hinges should be lubricated after replacement to ensure long life.
This was demonstrated on a Toyota Sienna but is applicable to other vehicles including Toyota Matrix, Corolla, Camry, Avalon, Solara, Highlander and Lexus RX350, ES350, ES300 and RX330 and more.
