Door "hinge" popping

Post by sierra_edgar »

When I open either door all the way and close them.
On the way in, they make a big pop sound.
Has this ever happen to anyone?
I did more investigating and this little guy (See Picture) is the one that makes the noise.
Its job is to prevent the door from slamming back in by using those two little "ears"
I put a fair amount of grease on it but still pops.
Anyone one has been able to fix this problem?

It's how they are designed to work I think, mine does it and always has.
