DIY to stop sound from hinges

[kher]

How to stop all the squeaking sound that come from nowhere? I oni know some r from the door hinges.

Is there any parts that r famous for making squeaking sound?

Use wat to stop them? the WD40 oil izit? or got any better production? the sounds very irritating especially on bumpy road. <_<

what is ur ride, kher?? if u are driving local car, then u have to face it liao....unless u change the whole doors.....last time my driver's side door got weird (actually is all 4 doors), go to service centre more than 10 times to complain it....some said it is like this one, some said we cannot hear anything...finally they still change some part for 4 doors....but the sound still there....until i met an accident, and changed the driver's side door....the sound no more, but the other doors still have sound.....:(

1991 Galant lor... i suspect is when the mechanic repair car that time they dismantle the parts n diden install back properly. then diden put any lubricant n squeaking sound come out. always after reapir cars sure got new squeaking sound 1.

but i think older gen cars sure are bound to have these sounds cos of some parts may fade or loose....not to say only urs lar...mine also same, like riding on a rattle snake only <_<

those idiots wouldn't bother also to check out where the sound came from. they will oni know how to repair n replace parts so that the bill wil cost rm$$$ or rm$$$$. small things like dat tell them so many times also won go check 1.

That's y i muz DIY lo.... :(


1 more thing they r best in is ask me to convert the Galant Super Saloon to Galant VR4. As if the car is officially mine. Most of the time go there same sentence will come out.

1 can of wd40 and 1 can of lithium grease is all it takes

i would recommend ceramic grease instead. and Try Selley's RP7.. quite a good lubricant as opposed to WD40

But where exactly the sound is coming from? You have to rectify that first.. It might just be some loose plastic which lubricant might not be able help in anyway

dun use WD40.. it dries up too fast... whithin a week or so.. de sound comes back...

u wan cheap? use engine oil.. sure than damn long wan.. using grease is ok but sometimes make ur hinge there very dirty n oily...

Whoa... sounds like soaking the whole car into lubricant here... Anyway, find out where the source of sound first then only treat it... :p
