Adjust Hinges?

[rgretzinger]

Ok so I got the Blazer back from pain yesterday and the hood hinges are really tight when closing so I am going to lube them uo this afternoon. the drivers right side sights pretty high up near the windshield. You can ush it down into place and it will stay there. Once you drive it it will become cockeyed again.. How do I fix this? Adjust hinges or new hinge? I also had new springs put on so that is not the problem. Thanks yall.

Just adjust the hinges and see if that works, a lot easier and cheaper. Loosen the three bolts, adjust then tighten. Check and then readjust if needed.

Never done it, but if you can push them down, i'm guessing they aren't tight.

Simple fix, as stated earlier; loosen up the bolts on the hinge where it bolts to the quarter panel (seeing that the hood on your driver's side needs to go down), tighten them up and call it good. However you may need to adjust the other hinge and or the bumpstops above the radiator, I was pretty nit picky about mine being a little skewed and it took some trial and error, 30min had it straight as an arrow
