can't stop doors from squeaking

stangracer · **can't stop doors from squeaking**

sorry everybody but i didn't know where to put this :-? i can't get my doors to stop squeaking :oops: there is a little roller type deal towards the bottom of the door that rolls (obviously) when you open and close the doors and it squeaks all the time. i tried oil but it seems i have to apply it every week :oops: i tried some grease the other day and it helped for about a day and the squeak came back :oops: any suggestions on how to stop it :-? thanks :thumb2:

replacing that thing... does your door feel like it ever locks in any place while you open the door? that rolly thing is there to hold your door open when theres a bit of wind or on a little hill, that sort of thing. I had mine replaced and it stopped :|

Zim is right !!!! replace the assembly. It probably has a rough groove worn in it and the grease wont last long.

it has never tried locking up on me, just alot of squeaking. how much does the piece cost and where can i get it?

spray them w/ lithium grease.

is that the same as silicone spray?

I had the same issue I just blasted that roller with some WD 40 and it wouldnt squek for at least a little over a month which I personally didnt mind. It was just one of those things I decided to live wit.

WD40 the joints... use a can if you have to, open/shut the doors and use more, I've had to do that on my moms tahoe a couple of times. It works

Anyone know the techincal name for the assembly. Mine does the same thing and I can't stand it. I hate greasing it up every week. Would rather just fix it right.
