Expert Reply:
Based on the issue you are describing the Tie Down Engineering Surge Brake Coupler Model 8000 on your trailer has a shock that is worn out, but since this model actuator has been discontinued there are no replacement parts available any longer.
Your best bet will be replacing the actuator. I recommend either the Titan Zinc-Plated Brake Actuator - Drum - 2-5/16" Ball - Bolt On - 8,000 lbs # T4079200 if you have drum brakes, or the # T4747220 if you have disc brakes.
Both have the same 8000lb weight capacity, and use a 2-5/16" hitch ball.
I included videos of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.
