This is a common problem with the rubber and the urethane bushings.
Note: you can tighten things to get rid of the slop in the bushings...
look at the manual for the description, but there are little plates under
the frame mounts that you can lever with a flat-blade screwdriver to get
things to "firm up". Just remember turn the wheels full lock left and then
tighten the _right_ mount and then turn the wheels full lock right and
tighten the left mount.

Al mount pros:
1. set it and forget it
Al mount cons:
1. less compliance in the steering system.
I have the al mounts on both my TR6's. So far, so good.
