Problem with mecanum wheels

If the wheels are in the wrong orientation, it'll go forward and sideways just fine. It just won't spin well, if at all. Since the rotation is reported to be good, it's not likely to be a wheel mounting problem.

My question now is what "vibrates during the motion" means. Is the vibration present when the robot is up on blocks with the wheels off the ground? Do the wheels do what they're intended to, but with a mechanical bumpiness issue? Or do the wheels themselves move in a jerky manner that causes the vibration?
