Those axes most likely belt driven you may be feeling the belts turning the steppers as you move them. If it was me I would undo each bearing from the carriage and slide them along the rods to see if they run smooth and replace any bad ones. You could take the bearing off the rod to get down inside to put some bearings grease in them but that won't help if they are worn or full of dirt. Check rods for wear marks. Or just put some 3 in 1 oil on rods and move carriages over it a few times. Vibration check belt tension and stepper drive current
