NICO member "amolao" replaced the door pins in his hinges... Seemed to work real well.

yea, start with pins, thats what I did, the bushings in the hinges might be shot too so hinges is a decent idea, but pins helped me out ALOT

Door sag is different than not closing properly (though it can cause the doors to not close properly). Door sag is caused by the hinges being misadjusted or worn out, the door not being closed properly is from the striker/latch being misadjusted or worn out.

yeah the doors close fine, when you open them though they drop a little too much for my liking.
