My 99 VT II Acclaim wagon 'squeaks and creaks' when ever I go over bumps, even soft bumps like pulling into and out of my driveway.
Is this a chassis rigidity issue? My VX does not do it at all but that is a sedan and therefore less likely to be affected by tortional chassis movement.
The 4 doors and tail gate a quite noisy and makes the otherwise good car feel like a POS. It does not matter whether it is cold or warm weather.
Was there chassis rigidity improvements with the VX series 1 over the VT 2 or is it more than likely a combination of the wagon chassis shape and worn door and window seals? (lots of country unsealed road km's)
I have tried the vaseline on the door rubbers trick which worked in my old VN sedan. Do other VT wagon owners experience this? And what about VX wagon owners?
