What Causes the Left Car Door to Squeak?

[AnastasiaDella]

Lack of lubrication, uncleaned door stoppers, or door deformation can all cause the left car door to squeak. Lack of lubrication: The car door is connected to the body via hinges. If the hinges lack lubrication, squeaking may occur when opening or closing the door. This issue can be resolved by promptly lubricating the hinges. It's important to use specialized hinge grease and avoid over-application. Uncleaned door stoppers: If sand, stones, or other debris accumulate on the door stopper arm, stopper pin, or other parts and are not cleaned in time, squeaking may also occur when opening or closing the door. In this case, the door stoppers should be cleaned promptly. Common door stoppers are standalone strap-type stoppers, while some are integrated with the door hinges, typically functioning to limit the door's movement when fully or partially open. Door deformation: If the door is deformed after a collision, it may also cause squeaking. In such cases, professional panel beating at a repair shop or 4S store is required.
