Tailgate hinges pivot and carry the tailgate every time it is lowered or raised. Over time, worn hinges can leave a tailgate sagging, binding or sitting out of line with the bed. If worn hinges are the cause, installing a new Dorman tailgate hinge on each side is intended to bring the tailgate back into proper alignment.
