Opinions on Bike Rack Attachments (Hitch Type)

[AsianPersuasion]

Copper- For MTB, I ride a Specialized Rockhopper for hardtail. Solid but a touch heavy. Good value if you don't go hardcore.
For road, I ride a Trek 5200. SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!!! My pride and joy on wheels, beside the 4R of course.

Just got Yakima's new swing away 4-bike carrier and it wobbles like crazy in the hitch! I've got the bolt pretty tight, but can easily rock the rack front to back 10 degrees or so. Side to side seems pretty stable. I e-mailed Yakima, but was wondering if anyone else has had this sort of problem. There's mention of some sort of sleeve from Toyota a few posts back. Will this tighten up the fit or is it just a fix to get around the rack hitting the spare before the holes line up? There's a good chance the rack will see some light trail use, so I want to make sure it starts out as solid as possible.

i'm pretty sure my yakima doesn't rock back and forth, but will have to look into that sometime.
