Question:
Im getting mixed and contradictory reviews about these 2 heads. I own a Q20 but get a clunking noise pin slop?, every time I start or stop. I looks like the A20 has better jaws but then it doesnt have the 360 degree movement? Some of your experts recommend the a20 while others the q20. Which head will be quieter and which head will have a better attachment to the RV pin?

Since the jaws of your Q20 can't be adjusted or replaced your best solution is going to be a new hitch like with the Curt A20 part # C16140 which is the newer version of what you have now which has a much tighter jaw design that will be quieter and last longer. Instead of the two jaw pieces coming together and just touching each other in the middle the A20 jaw has two pieces that lock together.
