Spraying hinges with WD40 was totally ineffective.
Any other lubricants which might work based on your experiences? Thanks.

There are other brands than WD-40.

I use the “white grease” in a tube, which is also lithium, but thicker than spray. Harder to apply but lasts longer. I just use my finger, apply some, open and close a few times to spread it out.

No luck with the AGS brand in a tube.
There are a couple large springs involved as well as hinges and I'll need to get the spray can and try again.

Oil is your friend and the sound will be gone. These old trucks are worn out by now.
