Did you put the washer on the sholder portion of the bolt with the narrower end of the washer pointing towards the thread portion?

hahaha this thread will never go away!
Pin and bushings are easy. The parts were actually cheaper from the dealer for me (upper and lower -13 bucks). You'l need a spring compressor tool, hammer, and a bolt and washer mechanism to seat the bushings in properly. Should take about a half hour for the beginner. |

I think I need to do this. Can you explain the parts a little more? And the tools: Spring compressor tool? bolt and washer mechanism? Does anyone have photos or images of this? I can't get the door to make the noise...just stops by opening it while driving. I've noticed I have slight play in the door up and down, while the drivers side has none. |

i never used the spring compressor tool. i just took the bottom pin out and lifted the door and the spring fell out. better than buying a tool you will only probably every use once, i also strongly reccomend having 2 people for this job or use jack stands covered with towels so you dont scratch paint. that door gets pretty heavy after holding it up a while.

I bought the spring washers in Okla and they cost $5.20 from the dealer, installed in minutes and the old ones from the hood hinge were shredded up, so far no noise.

Joshbarber: The new bushings need to be pressed into their holes. What you do (just like seating bike bearings) is you take a long bolt with a matching nut and at least 2 washers, you put it through the bushings with one washer outside of each bushing, and you tighten it with the nut. It will seat the bushings evenly in the holes. Then you take the bolt out and put your pins in, use the spring compressor tool to bring the spring back in, and you're done. I'm gald people have been getting the clunk fixed. I've told all my s-series friends and they love it. |

I'm so glad this thread popped up again last week... the washer fixed my clunk noise from passenger side and now the ride even FEELS smoother without that noise.

I didn't feel like driving to the dealership, so I cut a washer out of the plastic of an old oil container. As easy as it was to get to the bolt in question, I won't mind doing this job again correctly (with GM parts) if I ever have to, and if I don't have to, I saved a trip and a couple of dollars.

SHIT!
well, I replaced the drivers side washer again, as it DID need to be replaced. I flattened it out on install, which is why it started to rattle. I didnt really understand what good it would do flat when I installed it, which makes sense. ONLY TIGHTEN THEM SO THAT THE CONE IS PRESSED TIGHTLY INTO THE HINGE HOLE. The SHIT! is for the fact that I still feel the rattle in the floorboard. |

I would also like to remind everyone that the rubber hood adjustment bumpers need to be at the right height. One of mine was too low (screwed in too much) and the hood would vibrate at high speeds.
This will cause rattling and flattening of your new washers. |
