I've got a dumb question: Are the bushings and pins the same size for the upper and lower door hinges? I rebuilt the lower driver's door hinge, but it's looking like I need to rebuild the upper, as well. The catalogs don't seem to differentiate between the bushings.

I just bought a set from Falcon Heaven and all bushings and pins are the same size.

I used the parts from Dearborn. Rebuilt all 4 hinges. saw now differences between upper and lower.

Excellent. Thanks for the info. I did the bottom hinge on the driver's door, and there must be too much play in it still, because the spring arm wants to ride up over the stop and lock backwards if I open the door too far. I think the upper must need a little love, too.
