Softride Ball Mounts - SR26041

This solid aluminum ball mount limits rattling in the hitch receiver. The pin weaves through a threaded hole in the ball mount to clamp it against the receiver tube; a "gold wedge" fills in any gaps between the ball mount and receiver tube.

  • Pulls the ball mount closer to the receiver tube
  • Minimizes excess horizontal space that leads to rattling
• "Gold wedge" cuts down on additional vertical space between ball mount and receiver tube
  • Muffles common "clanking" sound

This ball mount offers two distinguishing features that provide a smooth towing experience. First, a threaded, stainless steel hitch pin weaves securely through a threaded hole in the ball mount. This innovation pulls the ball mount to the receiver tube and eliminates the horizontal (left-to-right) gap that leads to rattling. Second, as the ball mount is pulled to the side, the floating "gold wedge" is pushed to the top of the receiver tube and wedged in place. This prevents the ball mount from moving vertically (up-and-down) in the receiver tube, eliminating slack in all directions.

The hitch pin includes a brass lock with a dust cover to protect it from road debris. With a maximum 10,000lbs gross towing weight, this ball mount slides into any 2" hitch receiver and offers a 1-1/4" ball shank hole with a bushing for 1" ball shanks. It is constructed from a single piece of forged, heat-treated aluminum.

Ask the Experts about this Softride Ball Mounts

• Using Grease to Prevent Galvanic Corrosion When Mounting a SS Ball to an Aluminum Ball Mount
  
• I spoke with my contact at soft Ride, he recommended using some hydrophobic grease like the LubriMatic Marine Trailer Wheel Bearing Grease, item # L11402, when installing any hitch ball in the QuietRide Aluminum Ball Mount, item # SR26041. He went on to say that high grade aluminum is used to prevent corrosion and electrolysis, and that insulators are not recommended because they have not been tested for the towing capacities of the ball mount and ball.
