Rossman,

There is a little side to side movement in the racks when they are full loaded. The key is to adjust the correct width of these racks to fit the bed right. I had them a little too narrow at first and had to stretch them open a bit to fit, and noticed side movement. I adjusted them out and it mostly went away. All the hardware seems pretty good grade. At least a 5 if not 8. Even with my truck being as bouncy as it is, I havent been too worried about it. The way they clamp to the bed rails seems to distribute the load evenly.

There might be some more insight online from others reviewing.

And maybe pescadaro pete will throw in a comment
