   Does any one know how much the whole rear suspension is for a VTR?

   fire a few cans of WD40 into it, and leave it to soak in overnight. failing that, get the biggest fuck-off sledge hammer you can think of, then the size up from that, and batter the cnut out.

   lol. remember if you get an axle from a scrappy, it's best to replace both rear axle bushes while the axle is off. only costs about £40 per side and is worth doing.

    that's how mine started, with the squeaking. then i went over a bump and the whole back end collapsed! fuckin thing looked like it'd been lowered about 150mm best to get the bearings done asap, coz if you leave it, it can wear away at the bearing mount, which if left will mean a new axle anyway.
