Y axis funky, X axis perfect

So, V-Core 3.1 w/ Toolhead 1.0 and Beacon. I have a lightened gantry and metal gantry mounts installed. I used to have FMMM and AliExpress "heavy duty" bearings installed too but I removed both in my troubleshooting. All motor mount and Toolhead parts are printed in ASA-GF. Belt length is literally identical down to the tooth. X-axis is basically perfect except for a little high frequency bleed over from the Y axis. Y-Axis has weird crazy bits that have persisted through the entire troubleshooting process. Belt tension graphs have basically an identical 2 peak curve, but then alot of noise in the same spot as the Y graph. So, I'm about to lose it, but I want to check on my logic: -Toolhead: Likely in good condition without a cracked printed piece. If there was a bad piece on the Toolhead, or a loose part, then I'd likely see more noise on the X axis. There could still be something in the Toolhead that only causes noise when the head travels on Y, but I think I should look elsewhere first, especially with everything solid. -Belts/motors/bearings: All have been replaced with no changes. -Frame noise: I think I'd likely see some more vibration on X axis if there was something that was resonating at a specific frequency. -Y rails/carriage: My next likely culprit. Head feels rock solid and has no observable pitch during moving, either visually or by feel. But if for some reason the bearings in the mgn12c cartridges were "noisy", I would see the printer having almost no issue on X travel, but on Y travel, an underlubed cartridge or cartridge with contamination could lead to some grindy y travel. Or maybe even just a poorly tightened t screw on one of the rails? Any other ideas? This noise cropped up during some squaring fixes to resolve it getting bonked a bit, and I haven't been able to get it to go away.

You do not need to be measuring up past 100hz for Y. It never really rings out that far. Limit your max frequency to something like 110hz. Also, increase your accel per hz value to something like 125-150 to achieve 1e5 PSD value

Thanks. Gave those a try (w/ accel_per_hz set to 125). Still kinda humps up at just around 100, but I also was playing around and I very easily could have the belts over tensioned right now. I'll mess around with it, and I may also just try printing the toolhead parts again (if things don't really come together better). On the second Y hump, any potential ideas if releasing belt tension doesn't correct it?

I just finished replacing the whole Toolhead with PC-CF, pieces printed to .01mm tolerances (as per my crappy caliper), and the bump is still there. I don't think it's an object on the toolhead per se (as I think I should see things vibrate at similar frequencies on x and y if I had a loose fan and rattle from the extruder), and unlikely a pat on the Toolhead, as everything was replaced except for the umbilical holder and fan grills and those are intact. I guess the umbilical could be at some play, if there's movement of the piano wire that's causing the hump, but I'd assume that would be more jagged on the graph. Any way to run the old klipper IS routine? If that's clean, but the newer/higher movement one is not, I'd maybe consider one of my linear carriages on y to be at fault.
