Abstract: A vehicle door hinge that includes a door bracket mountable to a vehicle door, a body bracket mountable to a vehicle body, a pivot bushing having a cylindrical bearing that is disposed within a pivot axis hole of the body bracket, and a pivot pin that rotatably couples the door bracket and the body bracket together. The pivot pin includes a first shoulder disposed within the cylindrical bearing; and the pivot pin includes a second shoulder extending from the first shoulder. The second shoulder has a knurled cylindrical surface that is disposed within a pivot axis hole of the door bracket.

Abstract: A method of assembling a vehicle door hinge that includes providing a first bracket comprising a single pivot arm extending transversely from a base of the first bracket, wherein a first pivot axis hole is disposed in the single pivot arm of the first bracket; providing a second bracket comprising a single pivot arm extending transversely from a base of the second bracket, wherein a cylindrical bearing of a pivot bushing is disposed in a second pivot axis hole disposed in the single pivot arm of the second bracket; and coupling a pivot pin to the pivot bushing and the first and second brackets to rotatably couple the first and second brackets together by press fitting a knurled cylindrical surface of the pivot pin with a receiving surface of the single pivot arm of the first bracket that defines the first pivot axis hole, wherein a shoulder of the pivot pin that is adjacent to the knurled cylindrical surface is disposed within a bore of the pivot pin and the second pivot axis hole.
