Take your hinge repair kit to a machinist and have the bushings made of steel. One guy did it to his 2000 chevt s10 and its been 2 years and smooth as silk. Im doing mine at the moment. Its a hassle and a lot of running around but Im retired and all I have is time to play with vehicles.😁
Steel on steel will need to be lubricated to keep from wearing. That’s why all bearings/bushings are made from a softer metal with self lubricating properties
@@labarbieXCJNGX Its an oooold truck. The holes are not round and brass wont work. Those hinges are welded in. You can spend 700 bucks and I spent 80 bucks and it will last the rest of the life of the truck.
Also if the door has been sagging a while, always good to replace striker
Whats the part number to the bushings

Steel is NOT the way to resolve the issue
