DD1, new install, hammering sound

Hello,
I freshly put my new DD1/v3i/Porsche Rim on my rig (SL GT1) last night and today started the process of driver installs, and setting up the various levels of feedback as per Fanatec's website for iRacing. Finally got everything loaded up and seemingly good, but when I started up my test, the best thing that I could say I heard was a jackhammering sound coming from the wheel.
I wanted to confirm that all connections to the rig, and the rig itself are secure, and they were, so I started testing, and went into the Wheel config program and noticed the FFB test function, which replicated this exact noise. I insured that the gold nut on the DD1 Podium was in place, same noise; so now I'm here. Does anyone have a suggestion that I should follow?
Drivers are:
PC Driver: 356
Wheel Base Firmware: 670
Wheel Base Motor Firmware: 38
Steering Wheel Firmware: 9
Podium Hub Firmware: 2
Thanks for your assistance is what is hopefully just an oversight on my part.

It's normal for the QR to make a jackhammer sound, it's because of its spring.
Since i have the same issue, would it be ok to remove the QR from the rim (the red part, the spring and the 5 balls) or will this increase the risk of breaking something? Or is there another solution other than reducing FFB or FEI?
You can not use the QR without the QR sleeve and the ball bearings and it would void your warranty for sure.
