'91 CRX SI BODY FLEX???
With car on garage floor, driver door does not close properly, it seems to hang up on "latch". Passenger side door closes properly.
Car on jack stands, at all four corners where jack point are, all weight off of the wheels of course, driver side door closes properly.
I suspect body flex, but why just the driver side door?
Thanks for any suggestions, solutions!

Its pretty normal on these old civics and crx's. The state with the car sitting on its suspension is its natural state, and I bet your passenger's door hinges are sagging a little from age. Remove the front fender and fix the door while its on tires. Dont worry about how it behaves on jackstands though I suspect it will still close fine once you've fixed it.

Lift up your door and see if there is some wiggling at the door hinges. You can still get them new from Honda OR you can buy rebuild kits for a lot cheaper.

nobody asked this. has it been in a wreck? if a body puller was used it could of structurally marred the chassis

my driver door got stuck one time like that.
check to see if the door jam at the bottom is bent.
i had to take a rubber mallet to the bottom of my door jam so the bottom of my door didnt catch.

Thanks to all for your replys.
What source sells the new hinges?
Is it Honda or some after market outfit?
Thanks again,

I got my hinges from Honda.

Rebuild kits may be purchased from local stores from what I know. But I've never bought them before.
