[QUOTE="Len Jorgenson, post: 957407, member: 61406"] Has anyone tried to (or had to) lubricate the door hinges on a 2009 (or newer) ST? My drivers side door is making some awful clunking sounds when I open and close it, and despite liberal application of WD-40 to the hinges, it doesn't stop. There's a funny looking little sealed cylinder on the bottom hinge that I believe is a "new and improved" method of door swing control, and I'm quite sure this is where the noise is coming from. Problem is, there's no apparent way to get any lubricant into it. Checked the door hinge bolts and they're all tight. No door alignment issues either. I'll take it to the dealer if I have to, but it seems kind of silly to take it in for "door hinge lubrication". [/QUOTE]
