Question:
Should the chain hanger pads on a weight-distribution hitch be tight to the trailer frame? Or, loose to allow movement during turns?

The chain hanging brackets on a weight distribution system, such as # RP66022, should be fixed and not able to move. The bars will still be able to move since they hang on chains. So basically, the movement should be at the bars and not the brackets. I have included a link to the right to our informational article on weight distribution and sway control for you.
