door hinge... 850 1995

Hi, the middle hinge on my drivers side door recently broke through the weld, the door still works fine, the door just squeaks as the two pieces slide over each other, should this be welded or is it a bigger job? it almost looks like a good squeeze of liquid weld would fiw it? It doesn't seem like this hinge carries much load.

Any suggestions....

Thanks
Robert.

    Sounds like you are describing the check strap. Fairly
    common problem where the weld breaks on the door frame.
    To repair, the door is removed and the bracket is re-welded.
    This happened to our 95 a couple years after we had it.

    A search ion the archives on "check-strap"

      If the weld on the door jamb is still intact, then its the check strap itself. To replace this, you will need to remove the door swab as it is pushed through from the inside. There is just one torx screw holding it to the door jamb.
      Hope this helps
