Door rubs at pillar 200

Just recently I have noticed my drivers door rubbing the top portion of the pillar to the rear of the door. The door hinges seem good and tight. Can hitting bumps in the road at speed and bottoming the suspension cause the chassis to tweak? Maybe hitting bumps when cornering hard? Probably unrelated, but a couple of months ago I installed upper and lower chassis braces. This tightened things up, but now the door is tweaked. Any thoughts? Thanks

    The door hinges are probably adjustable. They are also certainly replaceable.
    You'll have to remove the kick panel to get to them.

      The hinges and adjustment seem fine. I think something got tweaked.

        You can tell if the space around the door is the same front and rear. If it is bigger at the
        front you can adjust the upper hinge forward and even it up, and I'll bet it won't drag then.

        My '82 242GLT had a similar problem.Not only were the doors sagging due to worn hinges but the window frame was broken at the trailing edge of the door where the frame meets the door.It is common for the welded spot to break because we all slam the door shut with the window frame.Get a welding shop to spot weld it solid again.
        Good Luck,
