My driver door sags a tad. I lifted up on it, no play in the hinges (they are non-serviceable BTW). What I did see.......the metal where the hinge was bolted to flexing.....metal fatigue on the thin sheet metal 
my driver door sags, if its not the hinges as stated above itd take some work to get everything back in shape.. unfortunately its not my hinges either so i just have to deal with it
I had the same problem. I bought a pin and spring compressor, and instead had play in the hinge, so just ended up replacing those..
I could sell you a new pin and a spring compressor if you want to figure it out..

My DS door is pretty bad too, the passenger one closes all nice and crisp but the ds one is saggy as hell. I tried using a floor jack to try and level the door because it was off a little bit. It worked for a while then it slowly started getting bad again. I have to slam it pretty hard sometimes for it to shut all the way and have to use my hip alot to finish closing it from the outside.

I have to lift my door a little to close it.. Driver side.. It's a nuisance but I've gotten used to it.. But not used to it enough to ignore it.. I want to fix it.. So I take it I have to replace the pins and bushings on it? If so where abouts do I get the repair kit for it? Thanks a million guys, greatly appreciate it

This is the guy's kit that I used: http://www.andyz28.com/3rdGen/installation.html
It does work on 4th gens. I put in the greasable kits, but they are a real PITA to grease. If I had to do it all over again, I'd just go with the regular non-greasable.
