Noisy hitch
Is there a way to minimize the clunking sound coming from the hitch pins on the rails? When I accelerate there is a clunking sound that is annoying. Bigger hitch pins maybe?

- I had this problem (among others) with my curt hitch. I have universal rails that work with every brand except for Curt. The holes in the curt hitch were smaller requiring smaller pins that did not fit properly in the universal rails making them sloppy and bang every time I would take off from a stop. or shift gears. Once I bought my B&W that used larger pins the banging was gone.
- Are you sure where the clunking sound is coming from? Any amount of movement will only increase, not a good thing.
- Some hitch brands just do that. Did you put a teflon disk in between the plates? I ended up changing my stock pin to a moyre ride.
- Make sure that the hitch is firmly attached to the bed. What brand hitch?
