Default door hinge jumps

when closing my drive side door it feels like it jumps and is sagging a little. iv looked for a fix on this but cant find a very good write up on it. i see alot of people saying to replace the hinge its self but i was thinking if i changed the door hinge pins it would fix the problem. any idea what i would need todo? i dont think the door fiberglass is broken at all i think its just worn out.

Hinge pins are not serviceable. You must replace the entire hinge.

Wrong. They can replace the brass bushing part of the hinge and it will be good to go after they readjust it. Cost me $50.00 locally.

Ditto. Did this on my old 89 Chevy Silvy.. I would think any body shop could do this...

I have the same prob with my 98'SS. I found these after ALOT of damn searching....... I hadn't bucked up & bought them yet so can't vouch for them yet. I hope I don't get slammed for posting a non-vendor link here but I did alot of damn searching & found nothing close to this from any vendor.
I'm not associated in anyway with this company.

These are the greasable ones I want..... not exactly cheap though.
