Door only scrapes when car is on level (flat) ground

OK so here is a real mystery to me.
On my new(to me) 92 RS the drivers side gfx is scraped up really bad from the door scraping it. So I instantly think pins and bushings. I opened up the door halfway and pulled up and down on it, and from what I could see, no pins or bushings were moving, and the car was raising and lowering with the door. Then one day I had the drivers side jacked up in the air replacing my trans cable and I noticed the door opened and closed perfectly. And now I notice, when my car is in the driveway(which has an upward slope) that it doesnt hardly scrape at all. So what exactly is my problem? Door alignment,pins & bushings, or somthing more serious? Please help!
