Has this door always did this?

When you put the level on the door at 90 degrees open and at 45 degrees open, exactly where, exactly, on the door are you putting the level? Put the level both on the 1 3/8 inch edge of the door, and, the facing of the inside of the door, near the edge. Also, with you standing in the bathroom with the dor shut...put the level on the hinge-side trim. Also, with the bathroom dootr open, put the level on the hinge-side jamb (Where it is 4 1/2 inches wide)

Tell us what the level does in these posiitons

If something is REALLY out of whack...if you move out the bottom hinge too much, the door may strike the opposing door jamb. If the whole wall the door is connected to, leans in towards the hall, you could have a problem typical of what can seasonally occur in mobile homes that heave in the winter and settle back in the summer.
