Yes-depending upon your situation, the most probable cause of the sagging is the bushings going bad and basically disinigrating. There was a detailed article on High Performance Pontiac a while ago showing how to fix this problem-check their website at highperformancepontiac .com and see if they have an archive-if not, I'll email you the pages. You basically need two hinge pins for the lower, four hinge pins for the upper, and 6 new bushings. Then you take off the hinges, and the doors, and replace the parts. Then re-align everything with things like the body mouldings as guides. Your dealer should sell all of these or be able to get them. You can also get them at top-downsolutions.com---Chris

I'm not real sure, my friend-I was under the impression, and still am since getting the parts for under $20 from my local dealer, that this is a job you can do in about a day. As for a "deal" or "special" I haven't the faintest idea. As I said, I got the parts-including bushings, hinge pins and detent rollers, (because mine needs to be replaced), for around $20. You can email me directly at jimi_76@hotmail.com if you have further questions.
