I recently bought a Summit and I noticed that the axle is uneven. It sticks out a little bit more to the side it is glued to than the side it screws into. I think this is making my yoyo vibe and I’m wondering how to fix this. Any advice?

It’s fine. The vibe probably comes from not tightening the yoyo enough, yoyos that use Side Effects can be tightened much more than those that have the axle tapped straight into the yoyo.

Ummmm, No, that would not cause vibe. It might cause a slight precession, but that’s not very likely either.
