door hinge

[Pillarian]

My door swings open and then comes right back. My shoulders are getting pounded by the door corner. Its like there is nothing there to stop it. In the hinge there is a rubber pad on a roller. I believe the rubber pad has relaxed. The mechanism looks like it is supposed to absorb the energy. Short of buying one pad or a whole door to replace the hinge, does anyone have a good idea to cure this problem?

Sounds like the hinges are starting to go. Common problem with the Taurus. It can be fixed by taking it to a body shop and having the door re-alighned. $100 at most.
