You can try one thing to eliminate that it is something in the drivetrain and not the spool.
Use a geardiff up front with cleaning putty in it.
It almost reacts like a spool but there is some movement in it so this should eliminate the chatter.
If not then you have a serious job finding what is wrong up front.
When did it start?
After clipping a boarding?
Was it always there?
Did you change something on the car and after that it occured?
I still think it is almost normall wheel chatter but i could be wrong.
It can also get worse when you run a lot of downstop so the springs can be loose between the spring collar and the spring retainer.
I would start with the geardiff up front and see how it goes.

I really don't know what is wrong, but this isn't just normal wheel-chatter. At the end of the straight at my home-track, we have a left sweeper. When I apply steering at the end of the straight, I can feel the car "jumping" (due to vibrations in the front) so it won't steer in properly and it won't brake.

I am about to give up. The car is un-driveable, and I can't figure out why. I wanted to buy the 417X, but that car is probably 2 months away (if we should believe the rumours).
