Just installed Tein hood dampers.
They are creaky and its hard to close the hood, Do they just have to break in, or do i have to grease them or something like that?

Yup I used the grease....
Just when its opening has a kind of creaking noise...
Mines are on a 350z and the hood is really light since its aluminmum, but thats what they come with sstock...i dunno why its creaking like that.
