Condition
Some customers may comment on front door hinge pin bushing wear, front door sag, or door chucking movement in extreme operating conditions. Hinge
pin and bushing wear or damage is commonly found on vehicles that operate where there is a very high number of door opening or closing cycles per day
(over 100 times) or in an extremely dusty or dirty environment. If this wear is not addressed early, the door hinge may separate from the sheet metal.
Cause
The condition may be caused from excessive force on the bushing at the door stop. Worn or damaged hinge pins or bushings may cause the door to sag.
