This Cushioned Ball Mount for 2 inch Hitches - 10-3/4 inch Rise - 12 inch Drop - 7,000 lbs, part # AMSC12 is cushioned in the rise and drop position for stopping and taking off.

If you wanted something to make the fit of the draw bar in to your hitch more of a snug fit which would in turn prevent rattling noises. I would recommend the Roadmaster Quiet Hitch for 2 inch Trailer Hitches, part # RM-061.

With that being said, in most situations on the 2002 Ford Windstar you would want to use a ball mount with a 2-3/4 inch rise and a 4 inch drop. Like the Ball Mount 2-3/4 inch Rise or 4 inch Drop, part # 2753.

In a link provided, I have included a FAQ page that details how to come up with the appropriate rise or drop that you would need when pulling a trailer.
