Darrell,
Are the axles hanging down while you are doing this test? If they are, you
ought to jack then up and prop something under the uprights so that there is
not such an extreme amount of flex. That might account for that
observation.

Subject: [TR] Rumbling GT6+
Hey Guys,
I am back into the GT6+. The passenger side rear rotoflex axle has a hump
in it whilst turning the hub with the car on jack stands. No doubt this is
not right a very well could be the source of the rumble at speed I am
having.
You can see it not running true at all by rotating the wheel. The drivers
side
is true. I am thinking the worst case is a bent axle from the diff to the
coupling, but the u-joint may be "off", the coupling bad or the bearings
may
be bad. Understand that everything is new. Help! VTR is fast approaching
and
GT6 is the featured Marque.
Thanks,
Darrell
