This is like learning a new language. Now I realize that hub/spindle/stub axle mean the same part. It's possible someone tried to hammer off the rotor at one time and bent the hub. Who knows? We're going to replace the hub and bearings and see if that solves the problem. I about had a heart...
Distorted Hub
Thanks for the info, guys! Today my mechanic removed the brake caliper and rotor. When he manually turned the hub, the gap was not consistent all the way around. Note gap at top is larger:

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. I doubt either shop drained the diff fluid completely and replaced it with the right products.
Worst case scenario - If, after the fluid is replaced and the chatter is still there, what would I expect to pay to replace the posi trac clutches? Also, does...

I have a 78 Pace Car with about 31K miles. It's driven very little, which I'm told is bad news for a Vette. My car has been to numerous shops in the SF Bay Area, none of which know how to resolve this issue...
