odd vibrations at low speed, need help quickly coming back from the dyno today i noticed at low speeds my car had a slight vibration like there was a flat spot in one of the rear tires, nothing major but noticable
checked the tires, no problems, so i turned to the rear
checked the fluid level, fine
spun one tire foward with the car in gear, the other tire spun backwards but wasnt smooth at all. very notchy and rough feeling
pulled the cover, everything looks fine and normal, all teeth accounted for, spider gears fine
but it kinda bugs me that it is so rough when i spin the tire over. could this be causing the vibration. it was only at low speeds going straight, everything felt normal in corners and stuff
also is it normal for it to be kinda notchy and not smooth when you rotate one tire one way and the other rotates the other

long shot...but i had a similar problem and it ended up being a slightly bent axle. Changed rotors, brakes, rotate and balance, alignment chasing it and it ended up being the damned axle. Have someone drive behind you and watch for a slight wobble in either tire in the *** end....
