Over time the hinge pin and bushing wear, and the door can gain play at the hinge. Signs this Dorman door hinge repair kit may be needed include a front door that sags or drops when opened, a door that is hard to close or latch, or a door that no longer lines up with the striker. Because the kit covers both the pin and the bushing, you can address the worn hinge parts together instead of hunting for separate pieces.
