    Squeaky Doors

    Has anyone had this problem? I think all they need is some lube and its good as new again. Since they are painted, are there any suggestions as to what to use on the hindges?

    I agree maybe just a small amount of lithium grease should do the trick!

    If the grease doesn`t work, try a little shot of WD-40.
    It is a good idea to keep the hinges lubed with something on a regular basis.

    Wow...first day here looking for answers and I get to give one...!

    I have a 97 Mazda Millenia that I tried to fix with lithium grease and ended up taking to a buddy at a body shop. He suggested using WD-40 with the straw and blast the arm that goes into the door with that and then lithium grease. You have to coat it for three or four days with the spray litium grease so just keep the can in the car for a week!

    I second the WD-40, it is much easier to use and it works just as well as the lithium for me. Just use in moderation over time and you should be good to go.
