Other than using GM is there a parts supplier I can use to replace door hinges and lock striker. I haven't taken anything apart yet and I'm wondering if it is the hinge that wears out or the door hinge pins. Are there bushing in the hinge that wear out and can be replaced? It would be nice if it was just bushing and pins (read cheaper and probably easier here). Thanks for helping.

Pretty sure either GM or our sponsor has a hinge repair kit which will come with new pins and bushings

GM, OPG, Ground up all have bushings and pins, as well as kits. They are not hard to install (the work is mounting and aligning the door), and REALLY make a big difference. Unless your old hinges are cracked you rarely need new ones.
