Door hanging slightly low, and lock actuator bad?

[rock_minute]

05 Jeep Liberty.

The driver side door is hanging very slightly low, but low enough that when I close the door you can metal on metal pop before it latches. I did a very brief visual check of the bolts / hinges, and it doesn't look like anything is tearing off the metal. Is this a quick fix on my end? What should I be careful of?

Also, whenever I lock or unlock the door, it sounds really really loud, especially the left passenger door. I found that the when I use fob to unlock, the passenger door will not unlock but all other doors will. Yet when I use it to lock it, it will lock if I unlocked it by hand. Is that the actuator that needs replaced?

For the driver door, you will want to take a good look at the hinges first. They are held on by a few bolts to the body and may be loose or slid a bit.

You must be registered for see images attach

for the passenger door check them too.

was this Liberty ever involved in a collision? You may find things are a bit bent thus requiring adjustments to the hinge bolts to position the door properly

also what sort of shape are your rockers in. If no collision in the past, this could be indicative of the unibody hunch backing

My driver door on my 05 is sagging also. It looks like they don't even make a pin and bushing kit to fix it. The entire hinge needs replaced. They are around 50 or so dollars which isn't too bad i guess.. It looks likes it would be an easy job since i only see 4-5 bolts to mess with.

Replace hinge and good to go
