My Milano vibrates due to worn caster bushings.
I just can't find the time to work on my car lately.

I wanted to clarify that when I said loose, I meant
the actual bolts that secure the rack to the car, not
the joints in the rack.  Last person who mentioned 
this said it was a quick and immediate fix.  

I'm just repeating what I read and don't have any first
hand knowledge of the problem.  Perhaps those who
have can speak in more detail.
