driver door sagging neeed help!
so my old t/a was like this and now i got my new t/a and im having the same problem. my driver door saggs a bit i guess because when i open the door it rubs the fender and makes that little popping noise and now its started rubbig the paint off on that part of the door. when i lift up on the door an open it it doesnt rub. i tried lifting up on the door pretty hard to bend it upwards a little bit and it is a temporary fix but now its getting worse. what do i need to do to fix this, i mean im not gonna go buy new door hinges and re hang the door lol. but it sure as hell doesnt work perfectly like my pass door....that thing works like its brand new and the door handle is much better. has anyone ever fixed this problem? i really am just getting sick of it to be honest

you can buy a door hinge detent kit... i had this problem with my 68 camaro.... all years fbodys do this... cause the doors are so long and heavy.... the kit should have everything to basically rebuild the hinge, bushings pins ect.... should fix you right up

my drivers door on my 98 ta was cracked. i was told by the body shop it was common with fbodies and was a poor design by gm. look at your hinges and see if where it bolts to the door is cracked. if it is replace the door. dont try to fix it for it will be a waste of time and money. it will last for only a sjhort period of time. hope my bad expeirnce helps.

let me share a bit of info on this subject in case anyone is interested. i took my car to a body shop today to have it fixed and the guy told me the hinges werent bad or the door pins, (he owed 2 camaros) and told me that these cars hit bumps and it eventually bends the fender in a little bit causing that to happen. so he loosend my fender and re adjusted everything and got everything back in place and im telling you my door opens and shuts like a brand new one and i couldnt be happier because that got on my nerves more than anything and the best part is it only cost me 60 bucks!!! whooo hoooo i am pumped!
