Bad dampers will cause tracking problems, I never had a set cause vibration other than that caused by the tracking.

Ok that didn't fix the prob, no worse no better. The bird shakes mildly violent and it comes and goes in flight and a hover. I have replaced the fly bar, blades, spindle, main shaft, blades, and dampers. It goes in and out of track like it’s a bent spindle. When it is in track its nice and smooth.

New metal head upgrade
New OS Hyper 50
New all metal tail gear box

I did all 3 upgrades at the same time and since I have replaced every thing listed above to get rid of the prob.

Should I have a small amount of oil on my dampers and spindle?

Yes, lube the dampers. Dielectric grease works the best.

Will that cause a prob tracking and hard shaking in the helio if the spindle is very tight and unable to float back and forth a bit? The spindles were very tight in the dampers until lube was added to the shaft.

Yes it can.
It will show the same symptoms as a worn out damper since the damper will not be working corectly.
