Hitch receiver play...what's the pro cure?

Hitch Vise as mentioned, works great! :)

Simply, have the proper tongue weight. Improperly loaded trailers with a light tongue will always rattle.

I replaced my OEM hitch with a better one.

Howdy gents,

I know there are contraptions on the market to take the play/slop out of the drawbar/receiver interface, but what's the home remedy?

IMO there is no effective "home remedy" and I personally don't buy any that others claim to be effective and call those "wishful thinking".

You can turn your receiver into swiss cheese and install all the bolts you want or drive as many wedges as you want into the space with a jack hammer, but IMO they are doomed to failure or are a poor substitute to the ONLY TRUE SOLUTION which is the "Hitch Vice" that IAMICHABOD recommended.

Drill and tap the top of the receiver hitch for a 3/8 or 1/2 bolt, then torque it down when you have your drawbar in. No more rattle.

Cant get a clicky for them on this lousy ipd but just Google it,you wont be sorry.

I have yet to see any homemade ones that do such a good job and believe me I have done most of them

Grease the ball.

Turn the radio up a little louder and you won't hear the clunk clunk.
