When the frame is opened, do you feel a play coming from the hinge? I got that on my jetstream, I stuck brake pad anti squeal sticker (3m) on the faces of the frame to create a compressive interference. The stickers filled the hinges gaps and the problem was gone, no more micro movement and hinge nose... lasted over 10 years
