So i got a superstar a couple of months of ago and it recently has developed some vibe. So i removed the bearing and made sure it was in there right and i was wondering how to tell if the axle is bent or something or did i overlook something. thx for the help. ---

Lots of people say if you take the stacks off that makes it smoother but I don’t really know ---

If it was smooth for months it is probably due to an error on your part. ---

> [@mingfu](#): > > i was wondering how to tell if the axle is bent or something or did i overlook something. thx for the help. Take the axle out and roll it on a flat surface. If it rolls smooth it’s ok. If it flops as it rolls it’s bent. ---

If it rolls smooth it’s ok. If it flops as it rolls it’s bent. Do this. Plus make sure it’s not your throw. ---

Ok i thought it was my axle until i did what jhb said to do and the axle rolls on the floor fine. And i dont think it is my throw b/c i also have an avalanche and it stays pretty smooth when i throw. Srry i havent been able to reply ASAP ive been really busy. ---

Why are people so concerned with bent axles, very very very slim chance an axle is bent. Unless you stepped on it, or sat on it. It’s not bent.
