Loose door hinge
I'm not sure how common a problem this is (I haven't found much via Google) but I noticed a new noise a few days ago which was a kind of metal clunking as I opened and closed the front drivers door.
I've been away from home so didn't have my tools but the hex screw holding the middle door hinge with I guess a dampener on was loose so the hinge plate was flapping backwards and forwards on the body of the car. It's an easy fix of just tightening that one hex screw - I checked all the rest which seemed fine. Has anyone else seen this happen? I did do the machine polishing recently and I'm half wondering if maybe the vibrations and resonance from the polisher maybe broke it free and it's just been loosening from vibrations? |
