That's called "chucking" by the way. An excellent reason to avoid Reese hitches, that problem is mostly unknown on good hitches.
Not hardly....even the higher priced hitch owners like the mighty Holland Binkley/Pullrite/B-W/etc have reported chunking issues. Chunking has nothing to do with banging or clunking or noise he is describing.
The OP mentioned a noisy hitch such as banging which can be some where in the hitch or its mounting system. Driving style such as stabbing the brakes or the throttle can cause any hitch to make noise. Hell my wife can even make a commercial grade SAF-Holland hitch bang and cluck with a manual tranny.
The OP needs to get a model number and research the hitch makers website. Some on this website have good research skills or if the model was known may have had the same issue and know the fix.
Thanks for straightening out some of these fellows. I gave the op a solution to the problem if that is what it is. My sliding mechanism makes no noise, and there is no slop that cause any noise on my Reese wrap around jaw, SAME system as the B&W , and also 1" thick.
