Drivers side door problem

90chevywly · Nov 30, 2021

Good evening Gmt400 humans I have noticed that my drivers side door pokes past my fender and then dips behind it towards the bottom. I've noticed that the passenger side pokes slightly in so I'm thinking it could be a cab issue possibly or tweaked frame but not sure. Hoping someone else would have some experience with this stuff. here are some pics of the driver side enjoy

Can you adjust your door striker?

I don’t think so I had my doors apart for paint so I don’t know

Has it been hit hard in the front?
If the frame is low up front it will make your door gap wide at the top and close at the bottom. Loosen the core support bolt and see if it takes some stress off the fender.
But if your bushings are worn out bad in the hinges your door will sag and look like that.

I have the doors off now and I plan to replace both hinge bushings but I will try the core support thing as well thank you.

Fenders and doors can be shimmed to get the gaps right. It can be pita, but doable with some help, patience and free time.
Changed out the front clip on my dually and it took us a minute to get things sorted out, but we got it eventually.

When you get a chance send a pic of the fender/door gap on the right side
