I went digging this morning and it looks like all I need is a floor patch.
The spring hanger box looks solid enough.

Which sends me back to the drawing board on what that sound and shimmy

brakes sticking?
jumped a tooth on the WW spline?
I wasn't accelerating hard . . .
And just to confirm what I wish wasn't true, when your spax shocks have oil
on the outside, they're gonners?
