Got a squeaky front end?

Don't you just love it when it's a simple thing that just need lube!

For anybody fixing this problem I'd check the hood latch before the bumpstops. And "real" grease that comes in a tub is alot better than the spray on stuff. Be very generous with the grease when applying. Put some in the actual latch (all over it). Then put a very generous amount on the latch "loop" (the part that's on the hood). You can usually see where the paint has rubbed off on the loop causing metal to metal contact. Once you do all that the problem should be solved! If not, do the bumpstops too!

wd40 is a solvent, not a lubricant. Use a lube.

I mine was doing the same thing the day after i got it. I took axle grease and put it on the rubber stops and in the latch and that seemed to fixed it. That was over 6 months ago and i have yet to hear a peep from it.
