I would use grease rather than WD40. Coat check strap and hinges in grease and work it in to see if that solves the problem. If not it's the check strap.

replacement check strap about £15 quid did mine last month
door card off and speaker out undo the bolts slip out of the speaker gap -replace refit speaker and door card - done in about 30 minutes
no more noise
there is a how to on replacing speakers which shows how 2 dismantle the door card and where screws etc are - if you need any help give me a shout

regards
Dez

I've got this problem. Tried greasing so it's a replacement strap. Thanks lads.
