How to Solve the Abnormal Noise of Door Hinges?
2 Answers
Door hinge abnormal noise can be resolved by spraying lubricant at all rotating points and cleaning off grease deposits. At this time, it is necessary to clean the seal and then apply a layer of soap to eliminate the abnormal noise. If the issue persists after disassembly, it is recommended to replace the door seal strip.
I've driven quite a few cars, and door hinge squeaking is a minor issue but shouldn't be ignored. First, check if there's dust or rust on the hinges. Open the door and spray some WD-40 or regular lubricant, wait ten minutes, then open and close the door a few times to see if the squeaking stops. Don't have any specialized spray at home? Try petroleum jelly or grease—just apply it into the gaps. If it still squeaks, the screws might be loose; grab a wrench and tighten them. Sometimes prolonged exposure to rainwater causes severe rust, in which case you'll need to scrub off the rust with a wire brush before lubricating. Last time I did this, the squeaking didn't return for half a year. Make this a regular maintenance task to prevent minor issues from becoming hard-to-fix problems and to ensure safe door operation. If DIY fixes don't work, the internal parts might be severely worn, and it's time to consult a professional.
