If the part that you are referring to is a frame mounted trailer hitch like the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 75085 then you will need to follow the torque specifications of the manufacturer. The above for example states to tighten all fasteners to 75 ft-lbs. If you are instead referring to a hitch ball like the 2" Hitch Ball part # A-90 then you will again need to follow the torque specifications of the manufacturer which for the above is 450 ft-lbs. These torque specs are all correct as of July 2019.
If this is not what you are referring then please try to clarify this for me.
