UPDATE
I was in Wally today, naturally went to the oil section. While there, thought I'd check out the ST7317 and the shorty version ST6607. Put my finger in the outlet hole and touched the centertube. And, yes the was some movement of centertube/core for both, not much but some. Shook them also, but there was no decernible sound or movement. I would have used them with not problem.
I know, need to get a life but it was for a good cause. Based on my experience, it's possible, but I doubt the OP's filter will show anything out of the ordinary.
