Expert Reply:
If your Weight Distribution System has been properly set up, there should be no movement of the weight distribution shank in the receiver, as the spring bars should be placing a substantial amount of tension on the shank against the walls of the receiver, thus keeping it firmly in place. The tension applied would be much greater than what a product like the Brophy Anti-Rattle would provide. If you are experiencing the rattle when using the weight distribution head to tow a different trailer and the spring bars are not being used, you would be best served by using a standard ball mount and trailer ball.
I would recommend reviewing the instructions that came with your Weight Distribution System to ensure that it is adjusted properly.
