Full Version: npc,Any Ford E-150 owners
Any club members own a Ford E-150 van? I just bought a 2004 a few months ago and I am having major trouble opening the rear doors. The hinges seem to be binding up. Has anyone had similiar problems? I guess I am gonna have to get new hinges.
Hi
Living in the salt belt, I have changed/repair many. In my neck of the woods servicing hinges are a part of our "oil service" every 3000 miles.
There are some options to replacing them, depending on the price, hinge pin bushing kits are a good way to go, and because of the brass bushings they are less likely to jamb. An experienced tech can do them in place, but its much easier to remove them (one at a time) and work on the bench.
Good luck with it

Thank you.I will check into having them rebuilt. I need those doors to load and unload on a daily basis.
