    Make sure your pivot bolts are tight. (Not too tight or you can't raise and lower the rack). Mine loosened over time. I use a piece of steel kitchen cabinet hinge to shim where it goes into the receiver. It helps quite a bit but on a really bumpy road the rack takes a beating.

    It freaked me out when I first got my T2, but I've learned to just ignore it.

    I had two thule t2, 2" and the 1.25." Got ride of both and got the 1up USA quick rack. No play on this thing. The best solution for me having different size receivers for my suv and car. It's solid.
