what type of door hinge lubricator do you use?
my rear doors make squeaky sound each time i open or close it

thanks in advance!

 

You can use WD-40 no problems at all. Or if you want to use a better product use Tri-Flow. You can allso use a White Lithium grease in spray form. Personally I would use Tri-Flow.

 

use the spray white lithium grease. it doesn't reallly matter what brand.

 

i use a silicone spray. cant remember the name of it.

 

I like the Tri-Flow because it has Teflon in it and leaves a dry coating that lasts. I use it a lot for the high security locks I work on at work. For everything else I use WD40.

The white lithium grease is good stuff but it tends to be pretty messy.

subinf- Was it the Honda Pro silicone spray?

 

Stay away from WD-40...it dries out, the silicone works well and the white lithium grease would be fine. Personally my family's shop (industrial parts distributor) sells a product that comes in a spray can and doesn't dry out so i just use that stuff

 

I dont think it was. One of our parts suppliers would give us a can or two every month to use - I'm still drawing a blank on the same. I'll swing by a parts store to see if its in stock, otherwise I wont know until xmas when I'm back at the shop.

 

This is the stuff I use, It's called "Lube It - All". It contains moly oil and is industrial grade...

mine is always making sqeaky noise. IT feels like a 1960 ford bronco. Will lubricate soon!

 

Just buy a new door checker.
I went through this squeaky noise for a while and eventually just bought this darn piece.
It was like 15 bucks.
I spent more money buying lubricants for it and none worked.

 

Might not be the hinge .. could be the arm that's the door positioner / stop. Whichever .. just remember all the lub on the outside of the hinge does no good. It need to migrate into the hinge as a liquid then solidify some when inside the hinge to do any good. Once inside wipe the outer area down to save a mess later.

 

I have found that spray white lithium grease is OK for general uses, but for door hinges and locks, it does not *seep* into the tight space of the hinge and door position arm.

GM recommends Super Lube, and sells it at the dealer under a GM part number, and can also be purchased from ACE hardware stores. I looked up the MSDS for more info:

SYNCO SUPER LUBE®:
I have used both the spray and tube versions (same grease, different delivery). The Synco web site lists approximately 20 specific plastics and 20 types of rubber with which this grease is compatible. That does not mean that these are the only materials with which the grease is compatible. Dow Corning does not list specific plastics with which the MolyKote MH-62 is compatible, nor is there any indication that MH-62 is compatible with rubber.

Super Lube grease is a PAO (poly-alphaolefin) synthetic containing “polytetrafluoroethylene - PTFE”. The MSDS says that it is approximately 80% PAO, 15% white mineral oil (petroleum), and 5% Teflon (PTFE solid lubricant). Looks pretty similar to the MolyKote MH-62, doesn’t it??

Generally, the technical specifications for this grease exceed those for Mobil-1 Synthetic Chassis Grease, or MolyKote MH-62, in terms of temperature range, load carrying capability, etc. All three of these greases are rated NLGI #2, the normal requirement rating for automotive chassis grease. Technical data and the MSDS for Super Lube grease are available on the Synco web site.

Aerosol Super Lube is recommended by brand name by GM as appropriate for certain lubrication uses in GM vehicles, such as key pin-locks (doors and ignition), door hinges, and door latches with plastic/ rubber parts. I use it any time that I need to lubricate parts that are not solely metal, i.e., assemblies that involve plastic or rubber combined with metal.

Super Lube is rated Food Grade H-1 by the USDA and NSF for incidental food contact. It is rated an excellent Dielectric (like Silicone ignition grease) but does NOT contain any silicone. This grease is rated in the MSDS as non-toxic. I like using it because of this safety rating.

This grease looks translucent clear-to-white.

Both of my rear doors have been doing this for the longest time and I've also tried all kinds of lubricants, but nothing ever lasts. It's definitely the door checker (#12 & 15):

I might just get them both, but they're not no $15... You must have gotten them a while back...

 

I changed mined out about 7 months ago. Bought them off ebay. Someone had an oem set for sale.

 

Wd 40 has not done me wrong, I've had to reapply after 2-3 years, but that's no biggie.
