Adjustable door hinges?

Hey guys i got a question on my 93 F-150 my doors actually dont wanna close right in fact you can see daylight through the cracks and its really annoying speically when driving at higher speeds. So i was wondering if there is anyway to adjust them out without replacing hinges or any other hardware?

Thanks



Daniel

Check the bushings. If they are worn/missing they can make your door not close right.

F150 door adjustment

I'm on my 3rd truck - an 86, a 94 and now a 96.
They all had to have a door tweek eventually.
A cool trick I came up with is to use washers between
the hinge and the panel or door as spacers.
You can get it to go in just about any direction by
using washers here and there.
Same idea as shimming the closet door to make it fit better.
Something I HAVEN"T figured out - what do you do about
that metal spring that always breaks off, the one that
holds the door open so it doesn't bust your knee or hit you
in the *** when you're getting out or in the truck.
