This is the culprit making the wonderfull popping noises. So what is the best fix to remedy this annoying little sucker?

Replace the door check pin. Available from Quadratec.-----------GeezerD

Assuming I can get the old one out, how hard is it to get the new one to go in? Is there anywhere locally to purchase one?

my dr side one of those isnt even connected to the body and i cant get it out of the door.lol. i would say just disconnect it like mine. but i hate how the door doesnt stay open on its own.

GeezerD

Mine installed easily from the top with a long 1/4 in punch and a small brass hammer. I didn't have to remove mine as it was missing,but I wouldn't think it would be any harder to remove. Your local dealer might have replacements.

You can pull the check arm out of the door with pliers.

I just did mine about 10 minutes ago, never thought to take pictures.
The popping comes from the pin snapping back and forth in the bracket, not from the spring latch itself.

Use a small hammer and tap the pin out from the bottom up on both driver side doors.
Then remove the 2x 10mm bolts and swap the bracket front to rear
Reinstall pin and tap into place.

Now your driver's door doesn't pop. the drawback is now the rear door does. lol

i recently did mine. it came out pretty quick and the new one went right in but my door still pops. i'm thinking of putting a bolt in there.

Haulnit2u

I like the bolt idea... thats free! I did look at quadratec... 5.99 plus 2 bucks to ship. Has anyone put a bolt there and it stopped the popping? What size did you use?

GeezerD

I replaced a bolt and it stopped the popping sound.-------GeezerD

Just tried this a little while ago. You need to order the check assly that's what I did to stop annoying azz noise. I

If you still have noise after replacing the check pin,either the bracket holes or check arm hole is worn oversize.------------GeezerD

RockAuto.com pry has the parts nice and inexpensively too. This was good info, I've been living with that annoying pop for a long time. Might try to fix it now, myself

just go to your local parts store, these pins arent exactly hard to get parts i think i paid 99c per pin when i lost mine. any decent parts place should have em.

That looks pretty dry. Mine squeeked and popped until I attacked it with some wheel bearing grease. Haven't heard it since.
