Door Hinge Pins / Bushings

Just as an FYI, I got some new door hinge pins
and bushings from GM today for my 79 hatchback. Part
numbers are listed below. The cost for the full set was
about $56.

For those who are wondering why I did
not get them from O'Reileys, Autozone, Napa,
etc...They just did not have them. The listing they had was
not even close to the right size (inside or outside
dia.) I looked at all the ones they had available, and
none were the right size...

Pins were about
$8.50 ea, Bushings were $1.80 ea.

BUSHING
9822198
PIN 9655646

Also, the local warehouse had
400+ pins, but only one set of bushings...

Uh, did you get them from an official GM parts
dealer? THe last time I priced them at my local GM dealer
they were much cheaper than that. I don't remember the
cost, but I think I was going to be able to do both
doors for something like $20.

Last summer I replaced my door pins and bushings
with parts from NAPA with no problems, Perfect fit at
a fraction of the cost. If I remember right it was
under $10.00 per door (If not both doors).

You paid GM list price. That is what you pay if
you just walk in and ask for them. If you are a
mechanic you get a discount.
You can get a discount
online from...
WWW.GMPARTSDIRECT.COM

This is
how much they charged for the same part.

With shipping might be the same, but if you
need something else from GM try this place first. Only
bad thing is you need the part number, can't search.

They came from A Chev dealer...

If I did only
the bushings, it would have been $18 for both doors.
But my pins were worn pretty bad since a few of the
original bushings had been gone for quite a few
years...

The ones they had at NAPA just wern't the right size.
Their catalog listed some that were very small. All the
other ones they had were not the right
dimensions...

Maybe GM changed hinges at some point? Mine is a
79...

Unfortunately I'm not a mechanic, so those guys get me every
time.

I checked out that website, Thanks, I
will definitely go there in the future. I checked the
pricing of the hinge pins and bushings, it all came to
$10 less than what I paid at the Chev dealer
(including the hefty $15 shipping charge).

Well also the price they offer is less than what
most dealerships offer to mechanic's, That is why I
get some of my parts from them, even though I have to
pay NC sales Tax.

Only bad part is you need
the part number, can't search. But better than
nothing.

I replaced the pins and bushings on my '77
Monza.6 months later the door practically came off the
car in my hand when I opened it.Result,the door metal
around the upper hinge had rusted thru.And this is a
Southern car.This made me really concerned on where else
"hidden "rust has compromised the integrity of my
ride.
