Too vague.  Assymetry in speeds is likely simply caused by assymetry
in mass distribution.  Perhaps even caused by dark matter. (Go find a
six-year-old to explain "invisible heavy stuff" to you)

Now you know how when you watch a Hollywood sci-fi movie or any movie
involving computers, you have to do a big suspension of disbelief to
keep a scene that violates laws of physics or how something works or
something from ruining the movie?  Well, let's invoke that suspension
of disbelief for violating the laws of physics, and look at the silly
idea of precessing galaxies.  What would we see for a spiral galaxy
seen face-on, such as the Whirlpool Galaxy.  We'd ignore the violation
of laws of physics and ignore questions like where would the huge
torque come from, why wouldn't it just break apart etc.  What would we
see?  Just an "assymetry"?  No, we'd see one side of it with a
blueshift relative to the center as it approached us, and the opposite
side with a redshift relative to the center.  We never, ever, see this
so it looks like galaxies are never seen precessing, and the laws of
physics are safe.

BTW, did you make an appointment with a shrink yet regarding to your
OCD regarding precessing spinny things? This is not intended as an
insult.
