Anti-Rattle for 1-1/4" Trailer Hitch Receiver  

Updated 08/07/2026 | Published 08/02/2026

Question:

Hi I was wondering if you carried any products that would help reduce wobble and rattle on a 1 1/4” hitch. I’m seeing lots of products for the larger hitches. Thanks

Hey John! Yes, we do have a 1-1/4" anti-rattle. The best option is the Roadmaster Quiet Hitch for 1-1/4" Trailer Hitches # RM-061-125. This bolts on around the collar and will keep your accessories or ball mount from moving around in the hitch.

What do you typically carry or tow with your hitch?

I have the anti rattle device Robin shared and use it on my 1-1/4” hitch. It works fine, but you shouldn’t crank down too hard on the nuts that tighten the device to the hitch. All you’re trying to do is keep the receiver from moving up when the trailer unweights at the ball. It’s a noise reducer, not a replacement for a hitch pin.

@Bob you're exactly right. The Quiet Hitch is just there to take the play out of the connection and reduce movement and noise. You only need to tighten it enough to keep everything snug, and you'll still need to use your hitch pin to secure the accessory or ball mount. Thanks for sharing!
