Thank you for the links, I thought the insides were similar to RC trucks CVD's. Do these rolling type bearings spin only when the axle moves up and down? I swear when I saw these needle type bearings I knew this was the sound I hear that day when I felt the vibrations on the driver side wheel, that rolling humming sound. Since the time I first heard and felt those vibrations the occurrences have been getting less and less as time has gone on, if I experience it again, I'll go ahead and replace the front left axle.

The mini I had lowered was vibrating immediately from a simple h&r install. Guess I'll be going about this on my own then.
When the vibrations first occurred I hadn't yet purchased my Ohlins R&T, it was that event (and ra2fanatic) that encouraged the decision to dump my stock shocks for the Ohlins. It seems that Miniworx inflated my tires to 38 psi, a little too much for my tastes! I prefer the fronts at 36 psi and rears at 34 psi with my Ohlins setting #15 front, setting #12 rear.
