(UPDATE...FIXED!) bouncing driver's side mirror
Somehow I doubt all these people have broken mirrors..
How is your idle? A little rough? That will cause a mirror to shake, the next thing is turn the freakin music down...if the bass is vibrating the rear view..it'* likely vibrating the side mirror too.

if the posts are broke, no biggy. just grab some others. they pop onto the glass assembly.
if the actuator assembly is broke, just grab another and patch the wires (so you don't have to remove door panel.)
maybe your center pivot is off, firmly press back on.

well i went to the junkyard and picked up that black box from a 97sabre andjust cut the wires. Came home cut my wires and spilced them up and bam all back in working! thanks guys!
Congrats on the fix - I hope I'm not speaking out of turn here (I've no real mechanical expertise, but have some electircal background), but seeing as how this is an area likely to get wet, I was wondering how you made the splice. Here'* a link to an image of the connectors I use:

(I'm not recommending any particular vendor, that'* just the first google image I came across under 'scotchlok'). You can get a bag of 100 for around $10, they come in handy quite often.
I was thinking there may be a problem using theseon the mirror though, in that they are fairly bulky and might bind up on something. If I were doing it I'd probably use solder and heat shrink tubing.
