Default Driver door pop when closing

My drivers door pops when it closes. It does it when it gets to the catch/hold point. I oil it which stops it for a few days but is there any way to fix it?

There's a roller detent on the lower hinge (look near the spring). If a flat spot gets worn into it, it will pop.

Or the hinge bearings may be shot. If so you'll see movement at the hinge pin.
