Has anyone experienced the door hinges sounding bad even after a fresh lube treatment=? My 2006 mcs sounds like the doors are almost binding. I've used everything under the sun for lubrication. I'm open to any solutions. Thanks Brad Augusta,Ga

I use a lot of WD40 until the noise goes away and then Triflow to try to keep it smooth and quiet. And then a dab of Lithium grease on the parts you see just to be sure. You can't over lubricate these hinges.
Also, don't forget the boot hinges as those are known to fail if not lubricated regularly.
