hey guys. i was just about to paint my new hinges i got to hang my driver’s side door i got to replace my smashed one, and i found that one of the hinges has a little bit of play in it. it’s not much, but the other hinge is nice and tight with no play at all. is the little bit of play normal, or should i call honda and have them order me up another hinge?
i don’t want to have blown a hundred bucks on new hinges only to have one of them be bad.
mine have play in them too, so they start to sag and drag on the door jam, it sucks and i hate it. i’ve gone to all the auto part stores in the area and nobody has anything close to fitting (ie, pins/bushings) i found out that you can order an entire new hinge from acura, (hinge,pin,bushing) at like $40 a pop…but im not feeling like cashing out $160
yeah, i have 2 brand new hinges from honda (no acura dealership where i live). my question is about one of the new hinges having some play. it is very minimal. but with a heavy door hanging from it, it may not be such a small deal. is a little bit or play normal for a new hinge, or should i order a replacement?
