OBS door hinge repair kits

If I were to do it I'd make those sleeves out of oil lite. It's bronze that's impregnated with oil. I make them quite a bit for aircraft applications, especially for areas that pivot often. They're actually classfied as bearings, not bushings.

If anyone wants some made I can pump out a ton on the CNC lathe.

I would def be interested! That is basically taking erics idea one stage further.

Agreed though I gotta say your idea of opening the hole to accept an extra bushing is def great too! I am def open to doing either one to save my current door.

I never got around to mine yet, I like the idea for the oil lite bushings, Might eliminate some of the squeak these doors can get as well

Okay, I found this site where you can order oversized bushings for our OBS trucks and there inexpensive. Their closed today but will give them a call to make sure the kit they offer will fix my sagging drivers door!

Ordered the hinge kit which came with new door pins and bushings along with the .010 oversized bushings fo my drivers door. I'll let everyone know how it works out once I get some time to install them.

Did you like this kit? And in the link it says it’s for 3/4 and 1 tons. This is the same kit, correct?

I bought the Dorman 924102 to replace the whole upper hinge on my 96. It was like 42 bucks on rockauto.

Is it only the upper hinge that goes bad? Or both? How do you like it?
