The doors dont swing at all. They basically stay in place depending how far you pull or push the door.

I tried greasing the hinges but they only lasted a few days till the problem came back again.

A friend had had his replaced in his BMW and said it might be the problem.

I've read other post about the same problem. Seem to remember a TSB on the early 4th gen ones (not a free fix, just a heads up on how to fix). My passenger door is doing the same thing. I believe the part (door check, door stop, or whatever else they call it) is about $20.

I had the same problem with my 96. Both doors were very hard to open/close. I replaced both door checks, I think they were 20 bucks a piece, but they work good now!
