[justin0469]

98 GST and the doors squeak pretty bad when i open them. what do i need to lube up?

 

[xnenux]

try wd-40 or some white lithium grease

but where? i just dont wanna spray everywhere

 

[xnenux]

most likely it's the rod connecting the door to the body, try lubing both ends..

Maybe in the area the noise is emanating from? You only have two chances to get it wrong. WTF

Yep wd-40 worked great for me . Both my doors squeaked horribly loud sprayed the all the hinge type things down with wd 40 a couple times and they haven't done it since, which has been like 4 months at least.

good to hear, giving me hope

If you can find it, there's a product called Dripless Oil. It's made especially for this job. It's
made by American Grease Stick who make Door Ease. Dripless Oil has the consistency of rubbing alcohol, then the carrier evaporates and it stays in the hinge.

sounds perfect but like you said, tough to find. i found it one place online but its packed in dozens. 12 being $20.40, i guess ill see how wd40 works
