Hi

You are going to get a 5x10^-10 to 2x10^-9 per G frequency shift on most of these oscillator. For anything below 5x10^-10 a pretty exotic crystal would be needed...

I would try wiggling the coax connection (without moving the board) and also gently tapping around the board (maybe start with the oscillator can) with a screwdriver handle to see if anything causes an upset.
