    It's the drive shaft

    I have had the same thing as described happening from the day I bought my VX. Keep the driveshaft lubed at all 3 fittings at the U-joints. I have come to beliveve it is normal operation when the driveshaft(s) compress.

    I had this happen in some of my other cars and it was the brakes. After some time the brack pads ware the rotors until they start to grab upon braking. The problem was solved after I had the rotors cut. If you feel the edge of your rotors thru the rim you can feel the raised edge I am talking about.
