Whirlpool Washer Jerk/Wobble at Spin Full Speed Only

Hi All..

This washer is level, and works apart from a fairly pronounced periodic wobble that happens only once the basket reaches full speed, shown in this video (wobble starts about 15 seconds in):

Washer has a brand new inner tub/balance ring/drive block. I have already tried replacing the springs, stubber blocks, skate plate blocks and motor coupling. Nothing has made any difference to the issue.

The clutch seems good.. not getting hot in spin, other functions working correctly, etc. With basket removed shaft seems to spin fine with no noticeable vibration.

Anyone ever seen this particular type of periodic wobble at top speed?

TIA
