Infamous hood squeak
I'm suffering from the well known MM hood squeak, and after trying everything that I can find from doing searches on this site, I'm still going crazy over this. I'm pretty sure it's the passenger side hood hinge, or at least that's where it sounds like it's coming from, and it doesn't happen when the hood is open so I don't think it's the suspension.
I've tried greasing the rear hinges (which made it better, but it's still there), adjusting the front bump/supports and installing felt pads above them, greasing the latch, and adding the bumpers from a Ford Ranger that were suggested in an old post. At first I greased everything with Lithium Spray, but then went back with a grease gun (with needle point) that's loaded with standard black all-purpose grease.
I'm about to give in and order a new hood hinge for the passenger side, but am I just wasting my money?
