SVX door hinge replacment/repair?

Both of my doors need new hinges. The driver side is grinding and popping when I open it and close it. There's a lot of play at the point of articulation. What's the best way to go about replacing them?

Is it actually the door hinges, the things that keep your doors fastened to the car to prevent the door from actually falling off, that are worn out on both your car
If you mean the "stabilizer" things that are spot welded on, there is a real nice easy fix for that.

It's the stabilizer on both sides and the driver side hinge is coming loose...

Sounds like you need new door checkers. I've looked into it before and they run around $35 apiece. Part# is 62090PA001.
If I had the time/inclination I'd fix mine too...
