    should the rubber seals lube be done as part of the dealer's yearly service? My service was just done 2 weeks ago and the doors and tailgate are still making the 'squelching' noise

    cheers

    And its back again (was hard to tell recently what with all the rain we've had in BNE).

    Turning at slow speed into driveways, or going over speed humps at low speed, you get a definite creeak-groan kinda noise. Exactly the noise I was getting back in September.

    So new struts and new bushes ... what else could it be?

    +1 for lubing seals,
    I work for BMW and most of them do it too! Just as the body flex's on uneven surfaces. Use a good quality silicone spray or lube stick.
