There is no way to adjust the tension on the ball on the Trailer Coupler - Adjustable Channel Mount - Squeeze Latch - Black - 2-5/16" Ball - 15,000 lbs # CTA-280. There will always be some amount of play to allow for movement. If it was too tight the ball would not be able to move when turning or going over bumps which would cause other problems. If you find that there is excessive play between the coupler and the ball you need to replace the coupler.
