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.

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
