Default Drivers Door Knock noise on 98 EX Civic when braking and accelerating

Hi everyone,

I have a 98 Civic EX Sedan. Its been a while since I hear strange noises from the drivers door. It really looks like something on the hinge itself. But now some days ago I started hearing a knock sound when braking and when accelerating.

Anyone experienced this?

Does it do it when opening/closing the door? Sounds like something loose inside

No, it doesnt make any noise when opening or closing it, door panel is tight as well as its interior components. Yesterday I opened the door and tried to lift it and I saw some vertical free play on the door. All other 3 doors have no play at all.

Is it difficult to change the hinges?

Thanks

I think it has pins, you take the clips off and tap them through while someone holds the door then put the new ones in, they're like $20
