If anyone has experienced this problem please let me know where to start and the cure you used. Better yet, if anyone can direct me to an exploded view of the hinge, I can take it from there.

Hi, you posted in the wrong section.
Your door hinge is worn out, it is not serviceable.. you need a better condition one or a new one.

You could try this first, but it doesn't really address the issue properly or may not help at all. The hinge will need to eventually need to be replaced. You can really take the paint off or in worse case pinch and dent the fender.
