I've never really payed attention so I don't know if you can replace just the pins and bushings or if you have to get whole new hinges. But either way that is what your gonna have to do.

Get a hand help you out and lift one end of the door, slowly unscrew a couple of nuts form the body and hing a tad bit, lift and re-screw. If it gets worse you can always put it back by matching it to the old creases.

One quick fix for me was... my latch part where the door latch locks around was loose and it would move when I shut the door... you can always loosen the latch and move it up a little... will lift the door when its shut

i think he meant the door was sagging when it was opened. Its not sagging when its closed right?
My 95 TA doors are starting to sag just a bit to where they make some noise when they're closed. Like as the door closes I can physically see it move up maybe 1/8 inch or so. Makes a funny sound.

On my 2000 I was having the same problem and found the fiberglass which the hinges are mounted on was cracking... drove around for a few months like that with a nice little "clunk" sound everytime i shut my door... finally got a replacement door off a donor... the body shops said they could have fixed it but it would have been weaker and eventually done the same thing...

most likely its the the pins and bushings. with the door open have someone pull up and down on the door, and look to see whats moving. i am ALWAYS putting them in at work. if your afraid to do it yourself, take it to a body shop, i guarentee they know the drill.

My upper bushings on the hinge were wore out. Cheapest and quickest fix is to buy a used hinge off a car with no sagging door. Our heavy *** doors do a number on the bushings in the hinge
