240 left hood hinge

Post by Brickhi »

I have a 92 240 wagon. I've never lubed the hood hinges "ignorance on my part" I was working on it yesterday and went to close the hood and both hinges bent. I found the one for the right side but can't find one for the left side except at IPD and they want a arm and a leg for it. I was wondering if someone had a good drivers side hinge they would sell at a decent price.

Thanks for any help in advance

The hinge should be plentiful. You are lucky the hood did not buckle. A squeeze of oil at the pivots a couple times a year will keep them young. If you don't find one close to you, post here again.
