Door pop

[Manche757]

Who has a magic bullet for door hinges making a #$!&^@ noise when closing.  Lubing last 10 days.  New hinges?

door pop?  are the doors contacting the fenders?

[Manche757]

No. Door stuck when closing. Snaps or pops to free it. Typical old car thing

My passenger door was "popping" and I noticed the "pin" in the part that holds the door open had been replaced with a bolt. When I replaced the bolt with the proper pin, it fixed it.

Yeah, the actual OEM part is a split roll pin with a bunch of funky profiles.  If yours is worn, or replaced with anything else it could be causing the pop.

The door checks themselves will wear out on XJ/MJ vehicles and start making poppin noises.  The fix is a new door check, and probably a new bracket where the check arm attaches to the “A” pillar.

 

New door checks can be had from several sources.

Anyone have a part number for the door check?  89MJ, 4.0, 5 speed

They are all the same for MJ and XJ vehicle front doors.

 

 It’s a Dorman 924-148 for the check.  It’s on Amazon.

 

several makers offer the bracket and pin on Amazon as well

I got new oem hinges and check stops from team Cherokee and installed them along with some hinge reinforcements from hoolihans off-road. Problem solved, no more popping. My popping was coming from the door dropping when opened. Had to reinforce my striker too with a large fender washer. It turned out very good though.
