Hey all! Starting to strip the firewall and noticed that the hood hinges seem sloppy. If I hold the hinge bar that attaches to the hood horizontal, I can move it back and forth about 1/2". Is this too much slop? The hinge is still bolted to the cab. If this is too much slop, can I rebuild them myself or do I have to buy new ones?

Cheers!
