they are hinge pin bushings and they are located where the doors attach to the frame they are replaceable and you can get them from any reputable autoparts store . yo will need a friend and a floor jack to help when you replace the bushings

Hinge bushing, The door hinge is held together by pins about 4 inches long. The pins rotate in bushings in the hinge assembly. they can be replaced. They are not universal from one make to another but GM only has a few different pins and bushing designs.

Listen to these two guys. They are correct. I noticed you owned an 87 Monte Carlo SS. I own an 84 SS. Check out this web page it has tons of useful information about your car. http://www.montecarloss.com/
I am TPI84SS on there. HTH

They aren't universal - different doors have different size door pins, hence different size door bushings. They look like a small brass sleeve that goes between the hinge pin and the door hinge bracket, and they have a knurled exterior with a flange around the upper edge.

They are door hinge bushing! And they are not universal, go to the parts store and tell them what you need, they'll fix you up. good luck

You will also need a spring compressor for the spring on the door hinge
