   Just wondering if anyone has any idea!
   
   I have a furio 2001, put come VTR alloys on the car and sice then there has been a high pitched buzzing sound, it is inconsistant and only seems t happen after/during longer journeys, sounds like its coming from the rear of the car but i cant imagine it being rubbing as my car is not lowered and the alloys are just standard VTR.
   
   Any ideas?
   
   Thanks

   wheel bearing perhaps... sometimes they rumble. Sometimes they whistle, Like a tea pot.

   X2, if it sounds like a whurring and gets louder the quicker you go then its bearing time. its when they get hot thats why it starts on the long journeys.

   just read a whole post about what seems to be exactly the same problem, intermediate bearing?! ring any bells?
