Best lubrication for bonnet hinges
Discussion
Hi folks
The bonnet hinges (well, mainly the offside one) on my Mondeo appear to be creaking slightly. I initially lubricated them with a bit of oil, which stopped the noise completely for about a week, then it started coming back (not nearly as audible / often, though) and so I used some white grease spray on them (cheap stuff, doesn't mention lithium) which again stopped it for a couple of days but it's starting to come back now. The noise transmits through to the cabin and drives me mad. It took me ages to find the source of it!
Should I be using something else? Should I be just replacing the hinges? Not sure how easy they are to remove on a mk3 Mondeo.
Thanks in advance.
