Title: Door sag/squeak
Post by: J. Huber on July 18, 2010, 21:02:56
Hey. So I suddenly developed a creaky drivers side door. Of course, first thing I did was lube the hinges and the roller assembly. Still there. As I was testing it, I noticed just a little bit of up and down play on the door. In other words, if I lift the door from the handle/lock side, it lifts maybe a 16th? or less. Actually very litte. But when its lifted and swung shut, the creak is gone... Is there somewhere else I should target to get rid of squeak?
THX.

I had the same problem.  I found the passenger side lower door hinge pin broken in half.  Gernold, at SL Tech had a machinist make a new one & squeek disappeared.  I discovered it by being abe to lift the pin out with my fingers.
