Re: Hood hinges..and hood fit?
The pivot holes, shafts wear out and begin to offer too much resistance or bind. I use white marine lithium grease to keep them healthy.

Re: Hood hinges..and hood fit?
Yeah, back in the day they actually "lube" things as part of an oil change. Tie-rods,ball-joints, U-joints, door and hood hinges, etc.
Most things are so "maintenence-free" now a days that things get neglected.
