17 silber w/1100 miles
i can't see too much movement but the bearing sounds really rough , it would not hurt to take it to your local turbo shop for a rebuild , i would look at the intake side of the turbo also
I helped my son replace a turbo on his Cummins because the impellor was rocking and the new one was doing the same thing. Might have be self centering bearing.
Thats toast inside, it should coast a lot longer than that.
Time for a rebuild

Update on this. I went another 300 miles running as is. Yesterday I started hearing the bearings rattle/grind on the trail, so I pulled it apart. Oil bypass was seeping into the intake and the fins on the exhaust side were slightly rubbing. There was also metal shavings in the bottom of the oil reservoir on the turbo. Play on exhaust side was was more than the intake side. One thing I noted was that it was very wet on the exhaust side from condensation. New center section on the way....
