Thanks for the reply Gene.  As it turns out, only one regulator had torn 
bushings.  The other three were fine; the looseness must be something 
else.  I thought after doing a similar fix to what you've done; putting 
a stud through a rubber donut.  This will limit the motor to move along 
the direction of the stud only and won't be able to twist. Though your 
fix has proved reliable in your case.  Regardless, I got a few 
replacement bushings and a inner door panel for $20 at the local junk yard.
