I should have though of this when putting the drawers back in. The are only held down to the floor with two rails running left to right about a third in on each end. Plus the frame is made from sheet metal so....
    Anyhow, I cut a small section away in the carpet and I could feel like a screw hole or something there. (see below left of pic) Sure enough there is.
    So I will make a bracket for each side to run down the back of the drawers and attach to the floor. Plus do the same for the middle. I dont think it will move then. Hope not. lol

    I only I had more time as I want to rip that shitty looking carpet out and replace it. Ah well, more work for later.
    Bugger. But I guess that's the cheap side of it.
    The outback draws have rivnuts in the back section of the frame like the sides.
    3 across the back of each pannel.
    I used blind nuts and dome head bolts to secure my fridge side in and cut the bolt so it doest protrude threw. It finishes flush.
    So if something is rubbing in the draw it won't catch.
