The drivers door hinge on my 1993 400SEL makes really loud snapping noises when I open or close the door. Does the hinge have to be replaced..or?

Is there any sign of wear/slackness on the hinges, when you lift the door at the handle? And is the noise definitely coming from the hinge?

There is a known W140 problem of a worn bushing on the door restraining strap bolt making a noise. The worn bush can be prised out and renewed.
