Hey Pete, the Weigh Safe Ball Mount part # WS46ZR that you referenced does not movement between the hitch ball and the ball platform. You would not notice any movement there or hear any noise.

Hey Pete, how did the Weigh Safe hitch work out once you started towing with it? It’d be great to know if it stayed solid without any movement like we mentioned. Your update could make it easier for the next person with the same concern.
