Loose Bed

About a month ago I bought my truck and am new to this forum. When I go around a corner the bed moves side to side at the front about 1 to 2 inches and when I go over bumps I can hear and feel a bang coming from the bed area (I think). I have checked the 8 bolts that secure the bed and they seem tight. I have not pulled them out to see if the holes are elongated. Any ideas what else it could be. Everything seems tight. Thanks

The bolts hold it to the bed.
Did you use a T50 (I think that's the size) to check the tightness?

If the bed is bolted down, it cannot move unless you have some serious body mount issues (like from a roll-over)
