I would use some sort of lube oil(not wd40) and oil the hinges a little. Wouldn't hurt to put a little on the bushings too.2005 Ford Focus ZX3 SE D20 M5 - Modified ;) <a href=\"http://www.knightenmotorsports.com\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.knightenmotorsports.com</a> <br />[ U R L = h t t p : / / w w w . g e o c i t i e s . c o m / h e a r t l a n d _ h e a t _ v 6 ] Heartland Heat V6 [ / U R L ] -
Get a spray can of white lithium grease and spray the hinges and pivot points lightly. This is absolutely the right and best thing to use in my experience.\'00 f-bird 3.8 M5 coupe, pewter metallic<br />Torsen LSD, Pro 5.0 shifter, Spec stage 1 clutch, Y87 muffler, aftermarket stereo<br />-more fun than the Oldsmobile it replaced...Comment

I usually spray silicone spray every few weeks. I just got a can to try it out and it's been over a week! So still waiting to see how it holds up. The part that usually squeaks/moans is the middle part of the door shell hinge that connects to the rolling wheel part(the part where it can hold the door at half way point or all the way open). No idea what it's called [img]tongue.gif[/img]Originally posted by terminaldegree:

WD40 worked great for me, it lasted about 6 months, door was starting to squeak a little about a week ago so i put some more on it.<a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/483076\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/483076</a> <br />TSP rumbler, straight pipe, corvette servo. <br />Soon - 3.42+lsd,headers, cai,Comment

I used WD40 on my squeeky hinges.
Although, through being an avid bicylist I have discovered using WD-40 as a lubricant is a big no no in the bicyle world. A silicone based lubricant is usually recommened for bicylces.
WD-40 actually displaces water (Water Displacment 40th attempt for you trivia buffs) which dries the parts out and can lead to corrosion is the reason I was told not to use it on a bicycle (chain, gears).
Maybe that is why some people recommended not to use wd-40 for your hinges. If I had something else I would have used it but wd-40 is what I had when the hinges were driving me crazy:)SLP CAI, K&N, Whisper Lid, 180* thermo, manual fan switch, 3.42 gears, Auburn Pro LSD, Wester\'s PCM Tuning, TSP Rumbler, High Flow Cat.

Use thick auto grease... it comes in tubes at Autozone. If you use something thinner it will seep down (due to gravity) and just run away. The grease will go away after a while, but it will take longer.Comment

as stated above, you could just use motor oil, it works fine on the door hinges2000 Monterey Maroon Chevrolet Camaro<br />3.8L V-6/4spd AutoComment

Because WD-40 is more of a cleaner,,, spray it on some grease and see what happens.<a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2245261\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2245261</a> Green 1997, 105k, all stock except for Z28 front springs, Air shocks in the rear, home made coolant recovery tank, home made battery hold down.Comment
