What is lubricating the hood hinge all about?

The hood of a vehicle is a movable panel that covers the engine. Hinges hold the hood to the rest of the vehicle. When the hood closes, the hinges ensure that the hood latches properly in the same position each time.

Keep in mind:

  • If the hood is not latching properly or the hood no longer lines up with the position of the latch, lubrication will not sufficiently fix the problem.
  • Lubricating the hinges of the hood will make operation smoother and quieter, but will not fix any issues with the hinge’s location or physical damage.

How it's done:

  • Apply grease to the hood hinge

Our recommendation:

Any issue with the hood or hood hinges should be addressed immediately to ensure proper operation and to prevent expensive repairs in the future. By the time the lubricant or grease has worn out on the hood hinge to the point of needing replacement, it is likely that other moving points on the outside of the vehicle have suffered similar wear and tear. Inspect the latch mechanism of the hood, the hinges on the doors, and the hinges holding the trunk lid to the vehicle to assess if they could use lubrication as well. Excess friction in hinges causes them to wear out prematurely and can cause real issues down the road.

What are the common symptoms indicating you need to lubricate the hood hinge?

  • Difficulty opening or closing the hood
  • Squeaking noise when the hood is opened or closed
  • Multiple attempts required to properly close the hood
  • Hood gets stuck when opening or closing

How important is this service?

This service is moderately important and is mostly done as preventative maintenance. In extreme situations, jammed or seized hood hinges can prevent access to the engine compartment. If the issue is with the latching mechanism of the hood, then the service is more crucial. If the hood does not latch properly, there is a chance that it could open while the vehicle is in motion.

This was the second time i used the service and specifically requested Edgar. Just like the first time, he was over the top professional, gave fair, common sense advise on other potential issues with my daughters vehicle. I will continue to use him on every repair i have with any of my vehicles.

I have a 2000 suzuki grand vitara v6 5 speed manual transmission rear wheel drive. A couple weeks ago it made a loud clunking noise I stopped because i thought it was my tire. It stopped and then last weekend when i was driving and no matter what gear i was in it was still sounding like i was downshifting. Then yesterday in a parking lot had to stop for someone crossing and when i put it in 1st gear and went to release the clutch my car my the worst noise ever and the clutch wouldnt release and car stalled. Tried again and engine just revved and wouldnt move there was a very loud POP and when i went to push it into a parking spot the car would only go a little bit then stop and wouldnt go any further without making a loud popping sound. What could that be?

How can we help?
