Door hinges

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

I have a 1998 GTP and have noticed both doors kind of sag when they are opened. You can hear a little bit of a grind when they are opened. I was wondering if anyone has had their hinges replaced and at what cost. The doors are pretty heavy and I can see why they start to go out.

Thank you.

Re: Door hinges

Most likely the hinge pins are worn. takes two people with jacks and stands to do it yourself for under $20 or you can take it to a body shop and have it done for under $200.
