Simple set of tests:

1) With current applied, you should be unable to turn the motor shafts with your fingers.
2) With no current applied, you should be easily able to turn the whole Z drive setup with your fingers.

It's a pain to cycle the thing manually, but that is one way to catch a rough spot.

You have two motors on the Z axis. If you have set your Vref's to match up with your motors, the Z axis driver gets twice the Vref as the rest. Each Z motor gets half of the current from the driver.
