Hitch Tightener for 1.25" and 2" - Anti Rattle Clamp, Heavy Duty Hitch Stabilizer Easy Installation, Reduce Movement on Mount Tray Cargo Carrier Bike Rack Trailer Ball, RD & BK

Good quality, and easy to assemble.

It works ! But re-check for tightness after a few bumpy miles and use the double nuts

Tightened up the slop and rattle on the trailer hitch insert! No more noise!

Will get loose and U bold will stretch out after a trip. Leaving 4 stars so it won't get chit canned.

Nice

I just bought a utility trailer and am using the receiver hitch on my car for the first time. It was really noisy on the short drive home, my temporary fix was to wrap some duct tape around the hitch shank, which worked, but made it hard to insert and remove the hitch. This hitch tightener was the least expensive solution I could find, and it works. Mine came with two types of nuts, plain and "airplane nuts" with a plastic insert that works as a locking device in addition to the lock washers supplied. I guess you have a choice, I went with the airplane nuts. It didn't come with instructions, so here's what I figured out: first loosely assemble it, then slide it on the shank of your hitch. Be sure you put the plate on correctly, as shown in their photos, you could put it on upside down or backwards, or... both. Then slide the hitch into the receiver and insert your pin as usual. Slide the hitch tightener as far toward your vehicle as it will go, and then tighten the nuts evenly. Try to shake your hitch, it should be rock solid. To remove your hitch, just loosen the nuts a little, and it should come off. Next time you use it, you'll only have to tighten it a little as it will already be close. In the user uploaded photos you will see some where the guy installed it backwards, and he complains that it bent. Look at the seller's photos, so you don't make that mistake.

Good product but don’t use the lock washers. They will split. Get a good stainless steel lock washer from a hardware store.

Locks reciever to hitch as advertised. Install was easy. No noise at all and quality is great.
