From the few new ones I've seen, anyway. There was a DMF on my '97 Golf. I never took pics, but it made all kinds of obscene noises, and moved a bit like yours.

Had I kept the car, I'd have replaced it with a stock weight (or lighter) solid wheel. No point in putting a heavy solid wheel on, as some have suggested. It does nothing for anything, and won't help the chatter situation either. Proper use of the clutch will help with chatter...
