Door is sagging just enough to make it irritating. Ideas? 97 Montero 90 4-Door Montero RS -- R.I.P. Re: Rear Door / tailgate sag, hinge adjustment?

But very annoying. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/angry.gif" alt="" /> You can call me Fez '95 SR 15x8 steel rims w/ 33x12.5 Duratracs, cranked torsion bars, "Baja" lights '09 Nissan Sentra SR Re: Rear Door / tailgate sag, hinge adjustment?

I say clamped b/c there is a plate that floats with the bolts inside that body panel and hence clamps the hinge into place. A bit of lifting on the end of the door can show if it is from the hinge pins being worn. 89 v6 Raider 5spd 89 v6 Montero auto 86 TD Trooper Moderated by  4x4Wire, Macka, Mudraider, off-roader, PHIL_, rxinhed  Hop To Mitsubishi Forums ------  Mitsubishi 4x4 and SUV Tech  Mitsubishi Diesels  Mitsubishi ArchiveToyota Forums ------  Early Toyota Trucks  Toyota 4Runner, FJ Cruiser &...  T100 & Tundra Forum  Tacoma Forum  Toyota Tech ArchiveJeep Forums ------  Jeep Talk  Jeep TechIsuzu Forums ------  Isuzu 4x4 & SUV Talk  Isuzu 4x4 & SUV Tech  Isuzu DieselsKia Forums ------  Kia Talk  Kia Sportage & Sorento TechOff Topic Chat ------  4x4 Gallery  Off-Topic Chat  Recreational Access & Land ...  Politics4xForums ------  Outdoor Gear  General 4x4 Discussion  Tools and Fabrication  General Communications  Amateur Radio  GPS and MapsParts Bin ------  Private Party - Garage Sale  Private Party - Items wanted  Vendors, Hot Deals, Group Buys4x4Wire Back Yard ------  Suzuki Forum  AZ Crawler Crew  Cal-Nev Crew  General Ford 4x4 & SUV Forum  General Dodge 4x4 & SUV Forum  General Chevy 4x4 & SUV ForumFeedback & Testing ------  Problems, Questions, Suggestions4x4Wire Staff ------  Forum Moderators  Problem Threads Print Thread Switch to Threaded Mode 5 Excellent 4 Good 3 Average 2 Bad 1 Terrible View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts
