Question:
I’m interested in one of these Fastway adjustable ball mounts, Is there an anti-rattle part that works with these? I've had clunking on my old adjustable ball mounts in the past.

Expert Reply:
Absolutely, Jason, and the right anti-rattle part depends on which receiver size you’re using.
If you’re using one of the 2" receiver models, either the Fastway Flash Force # FA33FR or # FA93FR, you can use the etrailer Anti-Rattle Hitch Collar for 2" Hitches # e38FV. That collar helps reduce movement where the ball mount shank fits into the receiver.
If you’re using one of the 2-1/2" receiver models, either the Flash Force # FA43FR or # FA63FR, you’d use the Curt Anti-Rattle Hitch Clamp for 2-1/2" Hitches # C87UR instead.
The important detail is that those anti-rattle parts help with movement at the receiver/shank connection. They won’t remove every bit of movement from the adjustable head itself, since the ball platform is still held in place by adjustment pins. But reducing the slop at the receiver can make a noticeable difference in noise and movement behind the truck. Jason, which size receiver does your truck have now?
