RE: [T3] Creaky Front Door


>Do all 4 hinges and smear some grease on the door check strap. Repeat the 
>oiling in a week or so. It will eventually loosen up

Originally did all 4 hinges about 2 months ago. (Bently says to use 30 wt
oil). Used heavy grease on the check strap. Passenger side door is fine, 
lower hinge on driver's side and check strap is fine. Its the upper hinge
on the driver's side, the oil is still full although I haven't refilled it.

When I move the door slowwly I can hear/feel the resistance in the upper hinge.

I think I will replace the 30 wt with a more specialized penetrating oil. 

Any suggestions?
