My GS base is rock solid. Not flimsy, wobbly or shaky.

It also has 2 thin metal plates with the roller bearings in between them. I intend to use one of them on the underside of the top base plate.

I get no wobbles, and when i stop at an object there is no backlash or slide. The only problem is that the springs are not applying enough pressure and it can move in alt too easy, which is contrary to other dob owners.

At least when I remove the roller bearings I will not have to do the centre nut up at all! It will rely on friction instead of bearing pressure. What size is yours?

Steve, I have never experienced vibrating spider vanes. Have you tightened them?
