It is amazing how electrons flow in airplanes.  I once flew a G2 that would descend rapidly whenever you transmitted on comm 2.  Even if the autopilot was on.  Problem was never fixed.

It does look like your yoke is hitting the panel now.  I’m voting broken shock mount. Look at everything important up front.  Another common failure point is cowl flaps but this is a c?

If you go up again, I wonder if pushing up on the lower right or pushing right in the outside left side of the panel will create a “new shock mount” and fix the problem.

Good, common sense suggestion!

Alright, guys. Sorry it took so long but we finally fixed the problem

We first balanced the prop.  It was at 0.5 IPS and we got it down to 0.02 IPS which made a big difference in the ride but did not fix the issue

I also had a small static leak of 250 ft/min.  This was fixed but did not correct the problem

Finally we replaced shock mounts which did the trick.

A few confounding factors, but finally got to the bottom of it.  Thanks for all your help.
