Yes I have but I've not been able to determine whether it reduces the bouncing or not. I can't remember how much "shorter" the slide out rack is with the holes in their different positions but my thinking was that if the rack was brought closer in, it wouldn't bounce as much.

Because of the decreased space for two bikes to fit, the handles bars of the nearest bike to the back wall were almost touching it. Some extra padding helped prevent any chaffing.
