Look at the door check spring and hinges including pins and bushings.

Spray some lithium grease on the door check rollers and spring (really a bent piece of round metal).  The spring needs to slide and the rollers must roll freely.  Otherwise you hear a lot of popping as it moves.

I sprayed the hinges and those rollers and still getn that popping sound.I guess the only thing to do is replace the pins and wheels.

You can replace the hinges altogether.
