Gene,

What year of van? 

If 85 and newer, I have a brand new hinge unit on my desk. I could take pics for you to look and compare. There are some seals in the assembly that do get lost, maybe you can see that Ithe pics?

I’ve read the discussions about bearing options, but what about rebuilding other stuff?   I found the spring, but it looks like there is a plastic bushing inside that spring that is broken.  I don’t find that or the seals on either side of it.  Anyone find parts to rebuild one of these?
