This is actually good becuase it is easier to replace the poles than the base. Pull the pole out of the base and look at it you should see the wear. If you want to get technical about it get a micrometer and take a measurement just above the base and then below. 2200 Bay Champ/200 Mercury Optimax 2017 Tundra TSS 4x4 Crewmax 5.7L

Wobbles around too much for me don't know if its the pedestal or the base. If it has the small shaft, the bushings in the base can be replaced. I got mine at Tractor Supply. Best way to prevent wear/slop is to remove the pedestals while trailering, they slap around and wear the base out. b If I'm not fishing or hunting I'm hunting a place to fish or hunt.
