Question for Hensley hitch owners

I have the same issue with my BD3, a clunk when starting, not so much when stopping. When I first installed the hitch this past spring everything was quiet but as time went by the clunk has gotten louder. I have looked everything over and can't find any slop in any of the connections. I finally decided it is probably in my Demco Glide Ride hitch as it appears there is too much play in the moving parts. I called Demco and they sent me a set of bushings but it will be spring before we travel again so not sure if that will cure the issue or not.
