Fordman, you need to replace the hinge pins and bushings.  Most help section at most autoparts stores should carry a repacement pin and bushings.  It has been quite some time since I have done one so I do not remember the part number.  Inspect your hinges carefully as if they are worn too much (oblong hole) then you will need to get good rebuildable ones.  This will require pulling the fenders to do this job properly.
