Thanks, Here are the photos of where it mounts. The movement doesn't really photograph well, but with that current setup, the rack wags back and forth like a tail, not much as said, 1/4-1/2 inch. and only when loaded. with the way my brake is located, it seems like all the racks I've seen would still have similar issues since the mounts are only on the outside of the seat stays.
