Hood Vibration 2001 Max
For some reason the search function SUCKS right now and it seems like no matter what you search for, it brings up 1/2 the threads on the first page and none of them have anything to do with what the search was for
Anyway...I have some hood vibration coming from the driver side, and the hood definitely has some play in it (the latch anyway, where you pull up on the front of the hood when its closed, it moves up and down)
Its mainly on the driver side but it is getting really annoying, is there any way to fix this? It seems like the latch and then one rubber bumper on each side is pretty much all it rests on. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks

I've been battling this same issue for about 1 year now. I've aligned and re-aligned it so many times I gave up. My last attempt, I added a bumper in the middle near the radiator support then two mor bumpers on each side of the hood. Seems to have helped a lot, but every so often I get that damn squeak. Never ending battle.

raising/lowering the rubber pads on either side near the headlights just under the front of the hood helped with my hood rattling
i also have a slightly bent rim, and it seems to add to the hood vibration when the rim is rotated to the front for its 5k interval

There is a TSB for it. Let me look.
