View Full Version : s14 sagging doors
Hi Everyone
Been looking for a while about s14 sagging doors and found a lot of info about the s13 door hinges but not much about the s14. Just wanted to know if there is a pin and bushing kit or do i need to grab new hinges. Thanks i also checked mounting location under fenders and it is not rotten.
Thanks

Replacement hinges are easy to install but you might just loosen the hinges first behind the fender, lift the door a little, and retighten. The doors sag from people using it as a 'crutch' to get in and out, my driver door sagged a little and just a little tweaking by putting a floor jack under it with the hinges loosened was all it needed.
Great didn't even think of that just been reading about pins and bushings and replacement hinges. I will definitely try this and hopefully all is cured
Thanks for the quick response i will be trying in the next couple of days.

Got a quote from fontananissanparts. Com 150 for all 4 hinges new for s14 for both doors it's a good deal
$150 that is really reasonable. I am gonna try to give the doors a lifting on the weekend and if this does not work just gonna order four new ones. Would be nice if it just needed a readjustment.

Hit the junkyard up and get those hinges and done...you won't be spending a ridiculous amount there, grease them/or WD-40 and you'll be straight....

Unless the salvage hinges are equally as bad, then you've wasted time and money.
Adjust the door. If that doesn't help, buy NEW hinges. Also, WD40 is not good to use on hinges, use lithium grease.
