DSLR Canon adapter to M42 - severe slop

I have been trying to track down the movement i have in my image train at the moment. First i thought it was the polar alignment (may be still a little bit - need to check this out next clear night), but i am leaning more towards the camera adapter. there is a good 1/2 degree turn of slope in the adapter, and i am beginning to think that it is constantly moving with cable weight, the camera weight and even when the mirror is activated, jarring the system. How many others out there have this problem? Is there a brand of adapter that has no slop?
