Creeking Doors

Hey,
Both my rear doors on my cl9 creek like crazy when opening and closing them! what sort of lubricant should i use to grease them up? on what part of the door hinge should i place it?

See the thread here (http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?127021-cl9-door-check-straps-worn-0.o-quot) :)

Mine did this when I picked it up after buying it (although funnily enough it was fine before I got it, I think the detailers kindly 'cleaned' the grease off the check straps).

Bought a stick of dry lube from Supercheap for $1.99, rubbed it on the straps, and now it's as good as new. The dealer in the other thread charging $200 to fix it is ridiculous.

Try WD-40 works on everything. It did an okay job for me... still didn't fully get rid of the squeak though.

WD-40 is NOT a lubricant. It is a water dispersant and is very good grease dissolver. Do not use WD-40.

Use either spray on teflon grease (after cleaning the old grease off), or use paste lithium grease.

silicone spray for short term fix, untill you get some grease on there!

yeah i think they had the car detailed before i bought it, so the detailers might have done that extra special dis-service......anyway cheers for the help, will try to get some some sort of paste from supercheap next weeked, let you know how it goes
