Everything I learned about towing I learned the hard way, thus I have made every mistake in the book. I have towed with improper electrical connections, low tire pressure, poor tie-down technique, and even left the shop with license plates missing while dragging my chains and wiring all over the ground. Each time I blow something up or destroy something I vow to do a little bit of research and get ahead of the curve. Learn from my pain – that clunking and rattling sound behind you can be fixed.

First, let’s do some anatomical review….here’s our trusty Trailer Hitch Diagram:

And here’s a rundown visually of what the different receiver tube sizes look like. Two-inch is the most common:

If you picked up a ball mount to tow with, came home and slid it into your receiver tube, and thought, “Huh, is that supposed to be snug or wobble like that?” you’re not alone. A very very common phenomenon is that your ball mount – which slides into your receiver tube – does not fit snuggly. There can be play in that connection. The result is a rattling, whining, or clunking noise that occurs when you are driving, and it adds additional stress on your hitch pin – which is not receiving the brunt of all that slamming and grinding. Not good. Side note – most bike racks that work off the hitch receiver have a twisting mechanism that tightens inside the receiver tube to eliminate this. But very few ball mounts have such a feature. 

Not to worry though the Rhino USA Anti-Rattle Hitch Tightener fixes all of this in a matter of minutes. So, if you want to secure the hitch and effectively stop trailer hitch rattle, simply slide the Hitch Tightener over your ball mount, and connect the plate underneath your receiver tube. Then just tighten the two bolts on the Hitch Tightener and voilà – no more rattle! A nice tight fit. No more slamming on your hitch pin. You’re dialed.
