Restoration / Door Hinge Bushing Fit - 1969
« on: September 28, 2024, 01:57:01 PM »
Need some feedback on bushing fit on door hinges. I bought a rebuilt 1969 GM driver side lower hinge(stamped 2703 L) with new bushings. Trouble is that the bushings fit loose in the pin bore on each hinge half. With the other hinges already on the car, the bushings are stationary and the door pivots on the pin which rotates in the bushings. Shouldn't the bushings be a press fit, especially the top bushing with the serrations on it? Can anyone verify if this loose fit is normal? Thanks in advance for your input.
