98 EX Coupe door sag
I've got a 98 EX Coupe and the driver door sags about an inch. It's been like this since I got it a few months ago. Any recommendations on how to fix this? Thanks.

The hinges or bushings are worn and need replacing, and lube them regularly after you put the new ones on.

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Re: 98 EX Coupe door sag
See if the hinge bolts are loose

Place a floor jack and long block of wood under the door and carefully jack it up, be careful to not bend the bottom of the door
