Growling X axis

[Bohn1]

My FT5 has a weird x axis problem

It growls while in the back half of the y axis range. Once past that point going foward, the x axis is quiet and operates smoothly.

During the growling, there also is an associated vibration...which also goes away once past midpoint y axis.

For clarification, everything operates smoothly in the front half of the build area.

Z axis is quiet.

Solved! Turned out I had a bad X axis cable......substituted a new cable and all growling went away.
Hope this helps someone in the future!

Could you provide some more insight into the cause of the growling? For example, was it due to rubbing. That is, what was wrong with it that a replacement fixed the issue?

"substituted a new cable and all growling went away."

Sounds like it was a bad electrical wire crimping.
