^^ fair points, but I'd wager that the majority of T5 swappers have not checked runout and those that have (Stiggy Pop? dbarton?) still had the rattle.
AFAIK, the annoying decel rattles of the T5 are the sounds in the videos below. Several members including myself have cured this by using the large 4cyl / Ranger slip yoke damper (F6ZZ-4841-BA). Suspicions are that this was an issue with the 4cyl Ford cars and is why the large slip yoke damper exists.
If there are strong vibrations felt through the seat, etc I would suspect driveshaft or pinion misalignment.

I am pretty sure I have that same type of vibration with my CD009 swap, but since I have no side windows, front bushings, interior, carpet, sound deadening, wheel balancing, and I am wearing a helmet, it is hard to tell. I will try and pay attention this weekend to confirm.
