Deathly Driver's door creak!!!

My driver's side door creak something aweful. It also rubs against the bottom of the jam. hence it hangs from all logical conclusions. I tried loosening the three bolts on the top mounting bracket and lifting the door but no change was noticed. The bottom hinge setup dosent seem too worn out either. Anyone have any experience or ideas before the bottom of my door rubs away!! Thanks.

Maybe your car is a little tweaked was it in an accident or does it have a pretty healthy motor and no subframe connectors?

Replace the pins and bushings on the upper and lower hinges. Replace the lower hinge, too, if you want.

If it still won't close properly after that, get the frame straightened. No matter what you do, get subframe connectors installed.

For a quick fix to that annoying squeaking sound, spray the hinges down with White Lithium Grease.
