fixing the saggin doors on the monte i built was a bitch. but i think the camaros are usually better. I believe the monte doors are a bit heavier. On my monte not only did i wear through the bushing, it wore down the pin and the actual hinge itself. the hole on the hinge was actually oval and even just swapping in a new pin and bushings wouldnt do anything. I found a brand new hinge and those go for $115, but i wasnt about to pay that. Instead i had a professional welder(family friend of my GF) weld up the hole completely. Then i measured it all out and drilled a new, round hole through the hinge where it was welded over. I then installed new pins from autozone, and now it works great, No sagging at all.
