Locating the Trouble
Door locks and hinges come next
in order. II the driver suspects
this sort Of squeak origin, he can
settle the question then and there
by asking someone to hold open the
door under suspicion while the car
Is in motion.
If the squeaking stops when the
door is opened the trouble has been
located. A little engine oil on the
hinge and a very little vaseline on
the door catches will be the remedy.
It Is one Of those cases where It Is
more economical to lubricate every.
thing that might be giving trouble
than to experiment first with the
door lock and then the hinges.
The point is, however, that half
the story Is In knowing that doors
are popular hiding places for
squeaks. The motorist who knows
this will not be going far out OF his
way to get at the root Of such trou-
