I agree, on my rack I replaced the thumb screw tighteners with nylon locking nut and actual bolts, as well as adding two tightening rods that run from the upright post to the mounting bolts that mount the hitch to the trailer frame rails. These give the rack a 3 point connection to the frame of the trailer reducing the chance of the bikes and rack from whipping when the trailer bounces down the hiway.
