I think it's just the front wheel aero covers that wobble. It's not a good look though.

Yeah, that's all in the suspension, have you ever watched someone's possum-scraper?  Every road vibration...  That's probably why they took off the aero covers in some of their other videos; it's alpha, you're going to have squeaks and vibrations.
