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.

Hello. I have a 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I bought it in 2016/17. The vehicle loses power while driving, but the engine keeps running. The throttle body icon on the dashboard immediately turns on. When I pull over and shut off the car, when I try to restart it the starter trays to turn over. I have to sit on the side of the road for a couple of minutes to 20 minutes and then it will start up every time like nothing happens. When it loses power sometimes there is a "clunk - thud" sound when I accelerate like to get up and go. Sometimes it just does it while I am not giving it any gas, just cruzing. It can do it 3 times in a\*\*\*\*\*or it wont do it for a few weeks with daily driving. We had the throttle body changed and we are you to change the [fuel pump](/topics-fuel-pump-jeep/)....just ordered one
