    i think i see the problem, it looks like someone installed a couple radishes instead of bearings

    wipe the grease out of the tulip and look at the ball wear path, if its like some youll find a fairly hard endge/ridge at the end of the worn area....this is what leads to vibrations when a motor mount is replaced or any work is done....those balls no longer ride in their original path and can end up bumping up the ledge which from the drivers seat will feel like a vibration as the ball rolls up the slop/ridge and then back down

    I think that's exactly what happened. That shaft had been dry for a long time, like, way before we bought it. So long in fact that there were no traces of grease anywhere on the chassis and obviously rust was forming inside. All was fine until about a month ago when I replaced the motor mount. Then we got the shimmy shake.

    All good now!
