I've been chasing issues with mine since I "trusted" a shop that claimed to know what they were doing. There were several things wrong with the "repair" and have resolved most of them. From the FSM, I found that the orientation of the hardware and the front balance disc were important to the balance of the shaft. These shafts certainly seem to be very finicky about small variations of weight. Most of the vibration issues have been resolved.

However, I'm also beginning to think the torn support rubber may partially be due to a missing part. I found out there is supposed to be a lock ring, on the front shaft, after the bearing and support. That and a new, quality bearing with a new support, and I hope to finally resolve the torn rubber issues.

If your mechanic finds something key to why the rubber mount is being destroyed, I certainly would be interested, as well.
