Expert Reply:

There are several anti-rattle devices that would be good to use when towing. The construction of your ball mount will determine the best choice for your application.

If your ball mount is hollow, and you have a 2-inch receiver hitch, then I would recommend the
Softride Anti-Rattle Device and Lock for 2-inch Trailer Hitches, item # SR25219. This anti rattle device also includes a lock to secure the ball mount to the vehicle.

If your ball mount is solid, and you have a 2-inch receiver hitch, I would recommend the RoadMaster Quiet Hitch Anti-Rattle Device for 2-inch Trailer Hitches, item # RM-061. This is slid onto the ball mount before installation into the hitch and then is tightened to the hitch eliminating rattle. If you have a 1-1/4 inch hitch with a solid ball mount or just like the design better the Gen-Y Anti-Rattle Clamp for 2" Hitch Receivers # GY88XR, would be a good choice and will fit either size of hitch and both solid and hollow ball mounts. This wedge device installs around the hitch pin and the wedge is tightened between the hitch and the ball mount.
