Is this a test? Just tighten it up.

The rubber mounting bushings can wear out. If you have radial play at the bracket, that means they are worn out. I got polys from rock auto for the cheapest price I've seen. If that's not it, they I would agree with Jag. Tighten that baby up!

It could be the bushings like Titan mentioned. I just replaced mine with polyurethane ones also. The lip faces inward just like the ones that are probably there now.
