Wind caught the driver's side door and blew it open pretty hard. The door now needs to be picked up in order to shut it.

Think one of these will work to fix it?

That depends.....did the pin or bushing get damaged?  Are the door hinges floppy now?  Did you check to see if a hinge moved or bent?

The lower hinge seams like it's a little floppy. I bought a pin and bushing kit from auto zone. I haven't installed it yet.

In case you need to do a Door Alignment
Source: by Steve83 (Steve, That dirty old truck) at http://www.fourdoorbronco.com/board/showthread.php?t=5225

esp. "...If you can lift the open door & hear a clunk from the hinge pins, find some good ones or get some hinge repair kits. ..."
-----------
For da Striker Bolt/Bushing;  Watch out for the Dorman HELP brand stuff now....the driver/passenger door striker kit w/ bushings, 38445 are not fffin good..bushing diameter is way off and striker frame is off as well....it will bolt-in, but aligning it for a no-rattle fit is efffin a waste of time and possible damage to passenger or driver. the Dorman HELP tail gate striker bushings pn 38424 are a good fit & the door bushings driver/passenger bushings are incl. in this kit & fit better than the 38445 part!
