Has anyone replaced the driver door hinges to cure a sagging door?

I thought the DIY remedy was put a floor jack underneath the corner of the door
and slowly jack it up back to its original spot. Also was told this is only a temporary fix to the problem.

I did this on my old A4 (did not want to go through the trouble of adjusting that lower PITA hinge!

Worked great. 1/8" aluminum shim FTW! By the way, my hinge did not have any play in it, so it was definately a sagging door. If your hinge pins are worn, I would replace the hinge altogether.

Let me know if you find one please. I had this just go away before on my noggy.
I always thought maybe its just dirty at the hinge which makes the door feel heavy and not want to close easy.
