You might not need to change the rack - there's a little adjustment bolt at the bottom of the rack which takes up the side-side slack. Also, make sure all four retaining nuts on the rack itself are tight.

I've seen that mentioned in the Haynes manual but never investigated. Have you had a play with it, does it make any difference?

Lol, no, when my rack was slack, I just stuck in PAS, never bothered making an effort to tighten it up.
