I bought my pins and bushing at Advanced Auto for about $10 and they work fine. They're found in the accessories aisle or just ask one of the sales reps for help finding them. The one's I used are plain universal GM hinge pins and bushings.

the reason i got them from ebay was that the bottom bush on mine was wallerd out a mite and the kit had oversize bushes that took care of that problem.

I got mine at NAPA for under $7 each set. It takes 2 sets per door.

I would like to ask, Is a $9 omix door hinge fairly priced? I am planning to purchase it this week at an online site.

Weird... what are those used for?
