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.

Jeep Grand Cherokee V8-5.9L - Pre-purchase Car Inspection - Saint Louis, Missouri

Chester was great, my dealer and the car had some challenges .... making this inspection very difficult if not incomplete. The vehicle could not stay running long enough to give it a test drive... but that was not Chesters issue . he did great and was patient and even tried to help revive the situation.... but was quite clear that this was going to be a challenging car as it currently was being presented ... so we are giving the dealer 1 week to resolve to our satisfaction. Thanks Your Mechanic and Thanks Chester.

Jeep Grand Cherokee L6-4.0L - Spark Plugs - Jacksonville, Florida

He ran a little late, but immediately communicated with me to let me know when to expect him. He arrived, greeted me, did his inspection and got right to work. His work was flawless, as I took a drive around the beltway earlier this evening and felt the difference in my car's performance. He also noticed another item needing repair (which I knew about). He offered to repair it, and got me scheduled. I really appreciated his communication, professionalism. I usually do my own repairs, but some things should be done by certified pros; and I am glad Rick took care of me.
