How much 'slack/wobble/play' there is in how the top plate attaches to the bottom one? In other words, how tight top and bottom plates fit to each other?

since the bearing races are flanged in the center with very little clearance , the two plates move on bearings in a groove in both the top and bottom plates. There is virtually no wobble in the circular movement.

I use mine to pivot an outdoor speaker. It has very little to no movement. That said, my unit sees very little rotation (just a slight back and forth) so they could develop slop over time with a high use application.

Double check to make sure you have the correct pieces on each end and that they are the right direction (top/bottom). I had trouble snapping mine together and then I realize I had one piece facing wrong. I made the change and it all went together really easily and everything exactly like it was supposed to.

Not sure how to answer the question. "How do you get it to fit...?" Fit where?

I ordered 3 of these. The first one installed I had problems with. I checked it out and found the captured ball was to tight. I installed another one where the captured ball moved freely in the swashplate and had no further problems. Hope this helps

It is all very dependent on your own personal preference. Mine is definitely tight, but that is what I prefer so that it doesnt slip during the course of play.

Yes, it actually fits pretty well. There is no "wobble" or any real gaps that make an issue. However, I find that getting the connections to properly fit is such a hassle, that I hardly use it now.

Yes, you put the bottom of the plate in first, behind the tabs, then tilt the top up into the frame. There are only two screws at the top then. It's very secure.

Depends where the wobble is... If it is at the top then I would say that it is normal. If it at the hitch then I would check to make sure everything is tight espically if you are using the 2" receiver adapter. I have the same one and drove 400 miles in one day with 4 bikes on it and nothing bad happened.

The bottom is clamped on the sides which have a soft, non-marring surface. I was worried too. However, my speakers have not moved a mm in almost 18 months. I did not use screws underneath because I made my speakers and the crossovers were on the bottom. I have not had an issue with them and am quite pleased with the mounts.

that is how I used it. Just put it a little higher, if you can. I put something under it, like a board, or sometimes nothing. It works well.

I had the same problem initially - the tension on the cables is a little too tight. After using it a few weeks, the tension slacked and the plates fit together just fine. This machine does require frequent adjustments and maintenance. Check the pins and bolts often.

It has little rubber feet on the bottom that work real well in preventing sliding on the counter, and the parts all fit snugly so nothing wobbles around. You'll use this alot. Great device.....

Hi, It goes by your hitch and not what kind of vehicle you have. I have a Dodge Durango w/hitch. It fits secure and there is no wobbling at all! Both our 100 lb. guys took a couple days to get use to it with using a treat or two to guide them. I love it!

I've done various bread mixes and shredded veges, with no wobble at all. I am using the heavy glass bowl that came with it. Not sure if that helps. I LOVE my mixer!

1 have 4, 1 a mix maine coon - 20lbs (the other three 8-15lbs). I haven't noticed any issues due to their size, no wobble, no indication it could tip over. I noticed in many of the reviews people said their stands would wobble, but I have a feeling that it is due to them not tightening the posts correctly. As long as you make sure everything is as tight as possible it will be fine. Bobby (5yrs old) throws himself around on it, jumps around like a crazy little kitty and it's never so much as wobbled. If you are really worried about you could fasten the post to the wall - the upper platforms overhang a bit, attaching a bracket from the wall to one of them would be easy for the added stability. 1 have 4, 1 a mix maine coon - 20lbs (the other three 8-15lbs).

Sorry for the delay... I bought this for a gift.. I haven't heard of any complaints of it wobbling, but was told that they really liked it as it made things much easier... not much and hope it helps.

the top and bottom pieces are actually not connected in this cover and so it is not a problem. i have not seen any issues with mine so far. The hinge is still tight and not loose and it works well.
