Door Stuck/Won't Open

Ok so my passenger door keeps sticking, When I pull the handle on either the outside or inside of the door it will open partially but it seems the stricker and latch will not budge open. To get it open I need to pull the handle and hit the center of the door really hard to get it to snap open but when I pull the handle I can freely move the latch portion that contacts the striker. The one thing I did notice that is missing from the passenger side that isnt missing from the drivers side is on the bottom hinge there is a spring or something that looks like a spring, Is that possibly the cause of my problems? BTW I just had the doors bushings replaced so there is no door sag or anything like that....
