The drivers door on my '71 has some droop to it. I have been told the bushing is worn but I'm also wondering if anything else might be worn?

I'm making a trip to Ausleys tomorrow so I am debating on if it would be better to just shell out $100 and replace the door hinges or if it would be better to just replace the bushing? (obviously it will be cheaper!!!!)

driver's door on my 70 was doing the same thing. it was only the top hinge that was worn. picked up the bushing kit at the local parts store.
couldn't get the old pin to budge. so i cut it in half with my sawzall and it came right out. you have to support the door with your floorjack. makes for an easy job.
factory bushings were nylon. replacements are brass and the door is fine now.
only costs about $4.00.

I think both of mine are worn and there looks like the hole is elongated.

the kits from the parts stores come with oversize bushings, in case your hinges are worn.
just drill them to the appropriate size and install the oversize bushing.
