My Yakima cradles or bars will rotate a bit once and a while ... I never saw it as a big deal either ... I just push 'em back and move on. Personally I would never consider the Thule square bar racks ... I see lots of 'em with bent bars ... after 13 years my round Yakima bars remain straight.

Never had the problem with my Land Sharks, but it seems to me to be an annoyance rather than a problem. If moving the boat can rotate them, moving them back with your hands seems equally simple. I've had to do that occasionally.
