Default Door hinge repair kit?
The driver's door on my XJ sags/drops. This appears to be due to worn-out hinge pins/bushings...

Are there repair kits for this kind of thing? Please point me in the right direction?

If only...

My DD is a city driven XJ (for now). Doorless in Boston would be bad mojo.

You might just do the mod and keep the doors on. Drill out the holes for new pins...that should help if thats the issue.

You can add shims to the bottom hinge or remove shims from the top to offset sag.
