Even if they wont back off, that's way too much slop.
These are not precision suspension setups. They are meant to have slop.
It allows for a lot of the necessary sideways movement the suspension undergoes when it is in a sharp turn. Less slop, would mean more stress on other things such as tires, bearings etc.
When traveling straight down the road, the axles find the center spot.
This also means that the installation doesn't have to be perfect. That is a good thing as it seems that the hangers of often not welded on perfect.. Yet there are few reports of problems from this. Probably due to the 'slop".
