Default Warped axle shaft? Need help!

Video works best



Brand new rotors since my others had a crack in them, I replaced them (havent even driven with them yet).

What do you think? Warped axle shaft? Bearing failure? Everything looks fine but something is obvious amiss...

I switched shafts left to right and was going to see if it changed sides but I ran out of daylight. Any other suggestions?

Damn that is not good! Have you looked inside of the differential yet? It seams that the noise is worse on the drivers side. How long ago did this start?

Noise is actually worse on the passenger side, camera was playing tricks. Its always been like this, but before I had it adjusted so it was more or less a non-issue, but I would like to fix the problem, not just beat around it.

Differential looks great. Wear pattern is spot on and no loose metal or busted bearings that I can see.

I really really doubt the axle shaft is bent, and it is straight as well as I can measure, but is it possible the mounting flanges are bent compared to the shaft?

Good luck figuring out why it happened.

Got it taken care of. It looks like I need to amend my 14b swap thread now. The axle flange needs some tender love and care from a grinder to fully seat the 10b rotors, not a problem once you know to do that.

fixed
