What part of the hinge is adjustable?
door side (exterior bolts on door skin) and the body side (inside door jamb)?
Are the hinges adjustable in both areas or just inside the door jamb?
Hi! Good question. I'm not sure about adjusting the hinge on the inside of the door jamb(?). The mechanic that inspected the hinge area today was specifically referring to the two bolts that secure the hinge to the outside door panel. To what extent the hinge can be moved after the two bolts are loosened is unclear but it can't possibly be very much. Nonetheless, he said that is what he and other Jeep mechanics have done in the past to relieve tension at this contact point between the hinge and the door panel. Apparently, this is an ongoing problem.
