The door hinges on your vehicle allow you to open and close the door smoothly, and often include door hinge pins, bushings, detent brackets, and rollers. When you open your door, the hinges move with the help of the pins and bushings, and the spring-loaded detent bracket and roller move into place and prevent the door from slamming closed. Over time, the continuous use of your door can cause the hinge pins, rollers, and more to wear out. This may result in door sagging, not staying open, or difficulty when opening or closing the door. If left unrepaired, a weak hinge may continue to sag further until it eventually breaks and separates, which in extreme cases, could cause the door to fall off. Many times, a sagging door may also require you to lift up on the door handle when closing it to align the striker plate and door latch, which could also lead to door handle damage over time. If you have a door that is drooping, not opening and closing correctly, or making noise when used, then you may need to replace your door hinge, pins, bushings, or other parts to restore its operation. Though a sagging or damaged door hinge may not seem like an immediate concern, it should be repaired as soon as possible to prevent more serious safety issues. O'Reilly Auto Parts carries replacement door hinge assemblies and door hinge repair parts for most vehicles to help you do the job right and restore your car's safety and comfort.
