I recently replaced my drivers side door hinge bushings. I still had a little sag. Things like that bother me so I ordered the oversized. Sitting at the workbench, i was comparing the originals to my oversized and they measure the same on my calipers.
My question is, does anyone have the spec on the originals, and also the oversized. I’m trying to figure out if they were already switched to oversized before I bought the car.
My “oversized” that they sent are 12.5mm (assuming they actually sent me oversized and not original).

So...... after digging through the garage trash can, I found the rest of the bushings I took out. Turns out they were oversized, but this time the bushing did the job. It was worn pretty good on the middle. Put the new oversized bushings in (with the help of the wife to steady the door) and it closes much better!
