j_mezz Posted April 20, 2008 Report Posted April 20, 2008 My 93 cutlass makes an loud and awful creeek when you open the door? I've tried oiling and greasing which works for about 5 minutes, any ideas short of replacing the hinges? Quote
CSI_MuNkY Posted April 20, 2008 Report Posted April 20, 2008 What are you using to lubricate the hinge? Jamie Quote
j_mezz Posted April 20, 2008 Author Report Posted April 20, 2008 I tried wd-40, then I tried the white-lube spray grease that I use on my jetskis linkage. Quote
MonteCarloDude Posted April 20, 2008 Report Posted April 20, 2008 mine does the same thing when its cold, i use WD-40 it seems to work ok. Quote
1990lumina Posted April 20, 2008 Report Posted April 20, 2008 I use white lithium grease - it's messy as hell but seems to work the best for me. Quote
5speedz34 Posted April 20, 2008 Report Posted April 20, 2008 White Lithium grease is what you should be using. That's what GM recommends. It's more than likely your check link that is making the creeking noise. Quote
j_mezz Posted June 28, 2008 Author Report Posted June 28, 2008 Winnar! It was the link assembly, never thought of it cause it did seem to be working properly. Thanks for the tip 5speedz34, you get a cookie! Quote
89SupremeCutty Posted June 28, 2008 Report Posted June 28, 2008 my lumi has that problem too. that's a big cookie! Quote
xxREGALIZExx Posted June 28, 2008 Report Posted June 28, 2008 COULD be a wearing lower drivers door pin putting more and more load on it as it wears away...but thats just my hypothesis as i too have this problem but my door has vertical play from the pin.....ohh and by the way are these hard to replace? Quote
j_mezz Posted June 29, 2008 Author Report Posted June 29, 2008 Easy to replace! You pull out the rubber gasket on the door, undo 2 bolts there (8 mm), and then one bolt on the body side. Then pry up the door panel in that corner, reach in and pull it out. Took about 15 minutes. Quote
rockfangd Posted June 29, 2008 Report Posted June 29, 2008 does anybody know where to get that part. mine snap aweful every time i open and shut the door. if you look at it while it moves you can tell that the hole is oblong. Can anyone say if the ones from the back doors will work on the front. both my front ones are shot but the backs are always fine Quote
j_mezz Posted June 29, 2008 Author Report Posted June 29, 2008 I got a pair recently from newgmparts.com - search for part number 10204701 - they were $29.26 each. Oh, and I don't know if the backs are the same as the fronts. They are listed seperately on the website but the price is the same. Quote
rockfangd Posted June 30, 2008 Report Posted June 30, 2008 well i just pulled up mine and it said 29 for the front and 20 for the rear, no part numbers though Quote
j_mezz Posted June 30, 2008 Author Report Posted June 30, 2008 Yeah, I got the part number from the invoice they sent with the parts but I only have 2-door cars... must be different in the back... Quote
