Ram bent door hinge. Diy fix?
 
Ram is making a clunk sound when closing the door. Looking at the hinges, the bottom one seems pulled out a little. New hinge or diy fix of the old one?

Looks like the lower one is out of plane with the pins/ rollers. I'd replace it.

Without seeing the other side's hinge, I'd say this one is bent here:

Can you take it apart and straighten out the lower portion?

I don't feel that confident that I could bend them back and have a long term fix. New latch is 60 bucks from the dealer.
Thanks guys

Usually the clunks come from the bumpy detent oil the roller grease the bumps and squirt oil in all the pivots

White grease on the detent notches fixes the clunk on my silverado.
