My driver's side mirror shakes too (if you press on the top left and bottom right it rocks right on the perpendicular axis). I compared it to the passenger side and it looks like the piece that bolts on the mirror and motor is broken/missing a screw.

I have the same problem. I took the mirror off, and discovered the cause was a pot metal rib/brace that connects the top mounting stud to the rest of the mirror assembly had cracked. I tried to epoxy it back together, but after about 50 miles or so it broke again. If your problem is the same as mine, I think the only fix is to buy a new mirror.

I had the same problem. I tried to tighten the nuts on the inside of the door panel and that didnt work so i took it completely off and realized there is more nuts inside the mirror so i tightened them and not a porblem since
