hood alignment

how do you align the hood on a 84 suburban? the hood is higher than the fenders and cowl at the rear of the hood.

Thanks, But I have these type of hinges...Mine is made of 84/87 parts..... I have a 84 shop manual and couldnt find alignment for the hood....

 

To start, lube the the hinge pivots, all 10 of them.

 

Is the rear of the hood possibly resting on the air cleaner? I had this issue for a bit before I realized hood was doing that, changed to a 1" shorter filter element and problem solved. JM2C

 

i dont think its resting on the air cleaner...its stock, the truck has a 1" body lift and there isnt any rub marks on the hood insulation.

I will lube everything

 

Loosen and adjust the rear hinge bolts

 

Good. After you do that and open and close the hood a few times, then go to the rear of the hood (hood closed) by the hinge and push down. If it moves down, the hinges are not out of adjustment.

 

thanks guys, got it fixed....
