How did you make out? You should be able to fixt he problem with new springs, pins, and bushings. The bushings should take up any slop in the holes. Changing out the hinges themselves wouldnt be fun as they are welded from the factory.

where did you get your hinges from? I can only find the drivers side upper and lowers.

got it done...beleive it or not only the upper hinge had to be done the lower was fine..once that was done and a little striker adjustment all is good,feels like a brand new door,must have caught it just in time

i remember when the ones in the blazer were bad... cost me like $250 for both the drivers and pass side door to be welded up and the doors re hung. They also ground down the welds and repainted the areas so they looked like factory... they are gonna be doing them on the s10 come spring time.
