I installed new bushings today and my door opens and closes like new.

Here are some GM Part #'s for the bushings and retainer clip:

16632192 Bushing
16632193 Bushing
25640501 Retainer Clip

You will need 2 of each for 1 door

so this is not a real hard thing to do? my drivers door is awful. you have to slam it to get it to shut and the passenger is getting worse. i have hinge pins for one door wich would be for the drivers since its the worst.

do i need the spring tool to get that out or can i leave the spring in when i do this? planning on doing it tomorrow

What kind of grease do you guys use for your door pins/rollers (I think that's what it's called)? I recently though my pins were going bad, but there was no play in them, so the pins were fine. My roller was just so dry that it was hard to open/close. I tried a simple silicone spray, but that didn't work too well, do you guys just use WD40 or something?

I spray mine about 3 times a year with white lithium grease (in a aerosol can), gets it good and lubed up.
