idahohay Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Is there a hinge pin kit for 1993 Subaru Legacy? Driver's door is obviously sagging and letting in a little air at the top. I don't see a hinge pin kit listed anywhere, but they are definitely wore allowing the door to sag. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 Lucky Texan Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 if you can get to it, maybe some kind of shim behind the lower hinge plate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikaleda Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 I've had several of these first gen legacy's into 300k+ miles. I've never had to mess with the hing pins and I live on a nasty dirt road. Replacement of the door hinge may be your best bet. They unblot from the door and the body.

1 Lucky Texan Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 I was told by a collision shop guy once that they sometimes put a jack under a special thing that goes in the latch and force doors upwards to 'adjust' alignment.!!!!! I didn't like the way that sounded but...? I think they also have a bar with a device that fits into the latch they can 'lever' a door up with. And there are ways to use shimes. usually, you need new pins and bushings but, I guess there are a few ways to 'rig' a repair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
