Door hinge bushings are toast
I'm with you Yeti, I really thought it was metal. I think it may have a plastic coating but the flange on top sure seems to be metal. I don't know though, I haven't bothered to really check it out.
I could be wrong on being just plastic then... mine were so torn apart I couldn't get them out the hinge fast enough! I didn't examine them too closely.
Jeeper posted pics earlier how to get them out... you can punch out from the bottom or if they are really messed up you can take a needle nose pliers from the top of the hinge and pick pieces out, that's what I had to do.

Anyone?
This is the exact reason I started the thread... without bushings my door makes clunking sounds over bumps. You can pull your doors off and check the condition of your bushings I guess.
