Door hinge pin replacement

The drivers door on my 1999 seems like it's getting harder to shut properly. You have to almost "slam" the door for it to properly close. Everything lines up fine when it is shut, but I did notice that the door has alot of play in it when you lift up on the door when it is open. It looks like the play is in the hinge pins. After looking in the service manual it doesnt show any bushings that can be replaced.

Is there actually bushings, or can the hinge pins be replaced? I have tried to do some searching but cant find any pins or hinge parts whatsoever.

The passanger door has no play in it at all, while the drivers side moves at least 1/2".

I would try adjusting the door latch striker - or a new door latch striker first This was a known issue on early model cars (1998 and 1999) as there was a TSB on this.
