I have a 97 Suburban and the door hinges are driving me crazy, every bump I hit it squeeks. Looking at them, from the top the hole that the pin rides in is kind of egg shaped. On the old 1/2 tons it was a simple job of unscrewing the worn out ones and installing new ones. These are spot welded on. Anyone have a solution to fix these without having to break out the air chisel and spend hours cussing and then you would have to reweld the new ones on. I was thinking of taking a piece of steel and making kind of a U-shaped cut out, position the door to the opposite side or where it is warn out and welding to the top of the hinge the extra piece of steel to basically make the egg shaped hole into a round hole again. Any other solutions?
