Hey Dennis, can you move it from side to side by hand when the hitch is sitting in your bed without a trailer connected? It is designed to be able to tilt from side to side to allow it to articulate so as long as it still is able to move like it should I wouldn't worry too much about it favoring one side when not connected.

Yes it will move some, but the shock on the other side makes it very hard to move. But yes it does sit flat when connected. The reason I ask is there has been a couple times when the ground is leaning to the left which makes it difficult to get hitched.
