Door making loud noises when opening

Hi,

I have a 90 Max GXE. Ever since I bought it about 4 months ago, the passenger side door makes a loud creaking noise when I open or close it. It makes the noise twice when fully opening the door. Like I open it to a certain point and it makes the noise and then I open it further and it makes the noise again. What could I do to fix this annoying noise? Thanks.

I had the same problem after changing front fenders. The after-market fenders do not fit eactly like the OEM ones so the front doors hit the fender where the hinges are located. I fixed the problem by bending the fender so that there is a 1/4-inch gap between the door and the fender. Hope this helps.

don't mean to be rude, but what does that have to do with anything about the hinges going bad?
