Oil reduces friction between the moving parts of the door hinges, allowing them to move more freely. Over time, hinges can accumulate dirt and rust, making them stiff and difficult to operate. When oil is applied, it penetrates these areas, lubricating the surfaces and enabling smoother movement. This simple application can restore functionality to the door, making it much easier to open and close.

How do you adjust a S-10 truck door to close tight?

The door hinges are a weak point. The hinge pins and bushings wear out and cause the door to drop and close hard if at all. Start with replacing the hinge pins and bushings. Hinge pin kits are available at your local auto parts store. You'll need a special tool to R & R the door detent spring, they are cheap and it will keep you from busting your knuckles.


How do you remove and replace door hinges on 1997 crown vic?

The job is really not too hard. With the door wide open and supported with blocks, un-bolt the hinge, and replace. It would be good to have someone help you as you might have to wiggle the door some to align it. Usually just have to replace the lower hinge. They wear and the door drops a little and hits the body. Normal for the crowns due to either poor quality parts, or the door is really heavy. Take your pick.

I have a 1988 Ford Crown Vic. I have to physically pick up the front doors to open them. How do I adjust them?

Most likely the problem is not in the adjustment "stub" that the lock on. The problem usually lies in the hinge itself. I have shimmed out hinges to compensate for a slight amount of wear, but yours sounds like it's time to just replace the hinges. Then the door should close as it should. Not too hard, but you can pinch your fingers if not careful. Have fun.
