Door hinges

First, let me say hello. Now to my question:
The driver's side door hinges on my 90 max have about had it. the door no longer shuts properly. Instead it hits the latch and kind bangs its way shut.
What do you think? Should I try to adjust the striker and hinges or should I replace the hinges? Significant vertical play can be induced by applying pressure to the door edge.

Also, how difficult are the hinge bolts to access and what is a good source for the hinges?
Thx for any help you can offer.

Check if they are universal(the same on all doors), if they are, then I have a set from the drivers-side rear door that could be used. $20 + Shipping send me a PM.

I have a little squeak thats developed on the drivers side door on my max. I gave it a shot of WD-40, but it still makes a grunt when braking hard.

I think Matt93se has replaced them before, or determined the problem. maybe he can shed some light.

thanks for the info.
my problem is wear in the hinge, causing vertical play in the door. lube won't help.
does anyone know if the hinges are universal?
