Hood - Driver's side

I have recently purchased a 1999 Galant. It has been very looked after and runs extremely well. A couple of issues, but first I want to tackle the hood. The driver's side seems to have too much play and actually shakes when driven. Ideas?

This forum only focuses on 6th generation Galants, ending in 1993. Since it's a basic problem, someone on here can probably help though

Check to make sure the bolts on the bracket that holds the hood to the car are tight, then check the little rubber hood adjusters. turn them to raise the height of them and that should press against the inside of the hood and stop the said Shaking. Hope that helps.

I'm sure you could get help with this issue at the galant center forum. Lots of 8th gen owners over there. If it's a somewhat common issue someone there will have a fix for it.

6g Galants tend to have worn out hinge pins. Have not heard of that with 8g cars, but maybe just a matter of time.
