Default 87 Door Adjustment

Passenger door is squeeking when being shut.
Not when it is in the hinge stage.
Does it when it is about to latch.
Noticed some ware on the pin mounted to the chassis.

what is the recommendation for adjustment?

Thanks ...

I just sprayed some WD40 in both hinge areas on both doors and my squeaks went away. :iagree:

I already tried this to no avail.
When I pick the door up and down there feels like less than a 1/8 movement from top to bottom.
I think it is the closing post, or what ever the correct name is on the chasis.

Thanks, Charlie

you can adjust the post and that will give you a temporary fix.But you probably need to replace the pins and bushings.It shouldnt have any play in it at all.When you close your door slowly ,does the door move up when it is about to latch? :seeya
