Question:
I have a B and W Pintal hitch that is loose and shifts . Do you have anything that might secure it , tighten it or limit it from shifting when stoping and taking off

Expert Reply:
If your B&W Tow & Stow Pintle Hook, like part # BWTS10055, has some play in the shank when you are stopping and taking off then it sounds like you need an anti-rattle device that helps limit the ball mount from moving. I recommend checking out the Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # 63232 which fits 2" trailer hitches and uses a spring, block, and threaded hitch pin that pulls the shank up against the inside of the hitch receiver.
If you are talking about a different part of the setup being loose just let me know and I can see if we have a different solution for you.
