Something broken?

Anyone know if this is normal. The noise sounds like its coming from the front drive shaft somewhere and only happens when I rock the passenger wheel back and forth. It does not happen if I spin the wheel in one direction..

Is it just the gears engaging? I have a vibe that seems to be any speed over 50 so I thought maybe there was a drive shaft issue.

hmmm, vibrations around 50 mph can happen when a tire is out of balance.

I figured maybe an out of balance tire but I thought out of balance usually goes away again over a certain speed. This seems constant.

I just wanted to make sure that clanging is not my issue..
