Well the 3 times I have gone offroading my drivers side door has increasingly not want to open. It seems that when the bronco is flexed, the door is tweaked so that the front of the door rubs on the fender.
Also along the front edge of the door there is a vertical dimble, as if the front edge of the door was pulled outward and back, which might have been caused by me opening the door when it was in the tweaked position?
So anyhow I checked all of the body mounts and nothing seems pulled, I can bang the door back in to clear the fender, but as soon as the truck gets unlevel the door wedges itself again.
My question is what causing this to happen? I dont think i twisted the frame because i ahvent done anything real bad to it.
Is it possible that the fender is just loose on its mounts and ends up in the way of the door? THanks for any help |

[quote]most likely your front clip ( the fenders and hood) are moving and binding on your door.   |

The doors are on a floating hinge and are pretty easy to re-align with 2 people.
