I think I need to do this also. Does you door fall 1/8 in. when you open it?
Is this the only thing that fixes it?

 

I have this problem as well. Curious if replacement is the only fix.

A fellow armada member said he had a body shop align the door for about $30. Wondering if the hinge can just be aligned instead.

Not sure but you should be able to just replace the bushings instead of the whole hinge assembly.

 

It's probably just the lower hinge. They're super cheap to replace.

I had a body shop install mine for 60$ or something. Cheap. I didn't feel like messing with aligning the door properly afterwards.

 

I bought the hinges vs a bushing kit because total it was under $20

Just was wondering if the electrical connection for the door is inside the rubber wire loom grommet.

No sir, just a ratchet wrench and a few CU's words it was all good. Easier than changing the damn headlight bulbs with those stupid plastic clips.

 

Just did 2 drivers doors in the last 6 months, both hinges on mine and dads. Just remove the bolts on one hinge at a time get a friend (or your dad) to hold the door for a min and replace with the new one and shut it to make sure its aligned. Repeat for the bottom one and your done. Easy 20 min max.

 

You didn't undue the electrical or fender?

Great sound a lot easier than I thought. Appreciate it

I replaced both hinges on my drivers door this weekend.
The correct way to do it is to remove the fender. There are 7 bolts and 5 screws involved to get the fender off.
Remove all screws holding the plastic fender liner in
Remove the wiper arm by removing plug cap and nut then wiggle
Remove wiper cowl covering or at least pry up
Remove hood shock and support hood to hold open.
Remove all bolts holding fender on. 3 on the top along with the strut pin.
Remove the bolt behind the from fender
Remove the 2 bots located in the door opening and the final bolt down by the mud flap
Remove and replace both hinges and adjust so the door does not hit the strike bar
Replace the fender and be sure that it does not come in contact with the door when being open and closed. Adjust gaps as needed.
Be sure to replace both hinges, they are cheap. I didn't get any pictures but its an easy process. Took about an hour start to finish

 

Any reason to follow this procedure, rather than replacing one at a time?

 

Replace one at a time but do both while you have it apart.
If your hinge needs replaced the door is already out of alignment so you will need to adjust the door. That can only be done with the hinges snug but not tight. Keep in mind that the HINGES are stamped out of a piece of steel so each hinge is going to be different. No 2 will be the same.
