If you mean swaying left to right, it may go against you first thought, but the springs could be to tight or the back frame is tight. The boom should stay level while the tractor rocks from side to side in work. If its tight, or you put stronger springs on it, the boom will rock with the tractor.
The outer back frame needs to move freely in relation to the inner one. Lubricate the slide plates at the bottom and as a starting point, adjust the springs so that the coils have no more than 1mm of gap between them.
With the boom open and set at chest height, stand at the end and push the boom down to the ground and let it go. When set correctly, the boom should come back up past chest height and then settle back down to chest height again.

They go spongy after a while, easy job to replace them, 17mm bolt on each 1 and slide them out
