Ford transit Van 1997 REAR HINGES

Postby VG1997 » Sat May 28, 2022 10:02 pm

Question Guys .
Im from Australia . I have VG or MK5 high roof Van .
My question is rear back do hinge on the Driver's side up top has decided to give up. Allowing the door to drop in at the top & become hard to close.
Not knowing much about the hinges only that they are meant to swing.
Haven't had one apart etc. Can they be repaired???? Or do I need to get a better one from somewhere. Any information shared about this topic be very much appreciated.
Kind regards from Australia

They can become loose.

I guess it would be possible for them to be refurbed by drilling out the pin and rebushing but I would just try and find another?
