Driver's side door sag. New hinges needed?
My driver's side door on my 2001 Acura Integra GS-R sags a little bit once I open the door and because of the sagging, I have to slam it a little more to get it to close. What have you guys done to repair this problem? New hinges? Bushings? Thanks in advance.

if the hinges are tight and dont have slack, it could be a slight chassis issue.
integra's are getting old so problems like this arent that rare. has the car been in an accident?

I just saw on Honda-tech that this was covered. They were replacing the hing pin I believe. Although I really like Honda-Acura.net the tech sections have almost died.

They usually come as an assembly. It is the bushing that fails most often, so I would start with just the bushing if you can find it. Depending on how long it has been this way, then a new pin might be needed; but you won't know for sure until the old one is removed.
