Default Fix Your Squeeky @$$ door

Well A couple weeks ago I got the notorious haunted house creaking in my door which really pissed me off. A lexus should not have this annoying sound.

Before doing research I used wd-40. Quick fix but in the end makes it worse. Dont do it!

After reasearch I found out that was bad and then tried some greese and door jack trick.
Didnt work

Then one day I was just messing around and sprayed some PB Blaster, normally used for loosening bolts, And voila it did the trick!


No more squeek and it is much easier than taking the whole hinge off.

LPS #2 lubricant works excellent as well, but is a littler harder to find.

lithium grease works great on hinges also, and it stays adhered for a long time
