Something like this could be caused by either the suspension springs or the skate plate. If oil or lubricant gets on the skate plate surface you will loose the friction needed to keep the tub stabilized during the spin cycle. If the skate plate checks good I recommend replacing the suspension springs. Also, the balance ring on the top of the drum may be bad. Here is a link to the springs. Here is a link to the balance ring.
Double check the screws holding the washer to the pedestal to make sure they are tight and make sure all the jam nuts on the leveling legs are tight. Loose jam nuts are the most common cause of this.
If they are tight, loosen the right front leg and screw it up until the weight is off the floor. Then run it back down until it contacts the floor. Put the washer in high spin and tighten it down to the floor until you get the spot where there is the least vibration. Tighten jam nut, and check it again in spin with a load of clothes.
Post back and let me know how this works.

Sounds reasonable; moving the drum by hand, there doesn't seem to be as much spring resistance as usual. Can't test it until I get the thing apart.
