Popping Sound when Opening Doors

Popping Sound when Opening Doors
Hey, was just wondering if this is something I need to worry about or not, or if there is an easy way to fix this.
Whenever I open my driver side door there is a popping sound as it's opening or closing and I'm not quite sure what it means. If it's something I can or should replace I'd like to know how or what it may be, especially if it's indicative of a problem that I may face down the road.

is it hard to open? cause i had the same problem, mine was popping and hard to open and close. if you have the same situation that i had then just spray WD-40 on the hinges and move the door back and fourth.

Also OP whats making the popping is if you look at the door youll see somewhat of a "collar" bolted from the car to the door, this collar is not actually a load bearing part and is whats causing the popping noise. if you just removed the bolt from the car side of the collar it will move freely and voila! no more popping noise.
there are some posts floating around about it, i always thought i was missing a bolt or something when i first got my car but then did some reading to find out its to stop the popping feel.

I know there was one time my door was popping and it was because it was clipping the fender before it opened. This was the cause of a failing door hinge, open the door slowly from the outside and make sure it's not hitting the fender.. =)
If it's not that, try to lubricate it and I guess listen to what the guy up top said?
