It could be an allignment issue or more likely a damping issue. The Grados shake a bit sometimes due to resonant frequency. They seem to do this, on average, more than other cartridges.The biggest of the shakes are known as the Grado dance. There are lots of threads about this. They can also shake just a little bit. This creates a bit of warbling sometimes.
I find that the suspentions stiffen up over time, so eventually the problem is mitigated. This would be true only if your arm is a correct match to the Grado.
