Question:
Why doesnt it fit snugger in the 2 inch hitch receiver? Does this cause jerking?
asked by: J. P
Expert Reply:
The shank of accessories such as Curt ball mount # C45001 have to be a little smaller than the receiver opening so they are easy to install and remove. This can cause the fit to be a little looser than some people like. It actually spawned several products to reduce or eliminate movement of accessories in hitches: anti-rattle devices.
What I recommend is to use an anti-rattle device such as # BX88224. This device takes out movement vertically and horizontally. I have included a link to a video review of this device for you.
