I don't know about the whining sound but I could see the vibration coming from your efforts to true up the shaft(s)... they may be perfectly round now, but may be out of balance... I guess it would depend on how much material was removed..

did this happen after the ring gear and pinion were installed? do ur new gear ratios in the rear match the front? if this is a 4wheel drive.

just to make things straight i did not turn down the axles i just used a dial indicator to check straightness. yes the problem started after the rear end came apart after the carrier bearings failed. yes i still have same gear ratios. does anyone know what is allowed run out on axles?
