   Had my vtr lowered few months back. im getting like rumbling noises from the rear recently that is now gettin worse and worse. Took it to a few garages this morn but they wont touch it as its been lowered, when it was on the ramps there was a some play on one of the rear wheels but none on the otherside he recommended me to not drive it and said it was bushes/bearing? The other garage said the axle was fucked??I got no clue what to do or where to take it? can anyone recommend me some advice or someone who could check it out for me and fix it??
   
   Cheers- Simon....

   if its like a humming sound when you drive it then its more than likely your wheel bearing, which isnt too hard to do and cheap aswell.
   Best thing to do get haynes manual (if your not mechanically minded) and fix it yourself you will save a hell of a lot of money in the long run.
   
   I will put my money on it being wheel bearing
