It sounds like a real safety concern, so my recommendation would be that you fix it ASAP.Also, if I don't fix this issue immediately what are the chances of catastrophic failure while I am driving, meaning, if I don't fix it today will the problem cause me to smash into on coming traffic?
By the way, if you are handy, you can remove and install the new rack to save on the cost of labor. The job is tedious.
Also, be sure to take the car to good local mechanic to verify the diagnosis.
