Passenger side door arm (very Stiff)
Does anyone know a solution to this? My passenger side door is very stiff to open when it gets to a certain point. I think it's my door arm because i heard the arm rubbing off the metal.
do i need to replace the arm? Maybe?
AND DO NOT SAY SPRAY SOME WD-40 CUZ I DO THAT EVERY 5 DAYS.
If anyone has had this problem let me know. Thanks.

WD-40 will wear off every 5 days.....I know that at many shops they have special lube that they put in the door. Next time you bring your car in...just ask them to lube up the hinge.

i too have this same problem but only on my passenger door. I actually thought it was involved in an accident at one time since it got so bad (people struggled with one arm to close it). I'd also like an answer because I dont think it's possible to pull that arm out without taking off the inside part of the door.

Try using thick bearing grease. The stuff doesn't disappear after five days.
Downside: a lil messy while applying the stuff, but does a great job lubricating the joints in the doors
