Re: Passenger door swings closed on its own...
It's called a door check. It's a spring loaded detent. Many times it's
just a matter of the pin breaking or falling out. It's located between
the hinges if I remember correctly.
As Earle says. Open both front doors and compare. It'll probably be
obvious.
