Thank for the tips. I did check the lower shock mounts and they are tight.
Checked all the rubber bushing I could find, they are all there, in tact but
with a little cracking around the edges. Took a rubber mallet (very
dissident cousin)and banged around the large parts and found nothing loose.
I also looked into the lower shroud underneath the nose, nothing found
there. Found about 1/8 inch rotating play in the where the drive shaft
enters the transmission. Is that normal?

After I deramped the dak, put every thing away, got my self cleaned up and
in the house, I thought maybe I should have done that same check but with
jack stand and the weight off of the wheels?
