I'm still trying to imagine and figure out how you get the ball socket lined up on the ball and especially if you're alone. I do have a couple of magnetic colored line up poles that would certainly help. Anyway, not one of my selections for saving money in my old age.
I use the harbor freight yellow balls on a magnetic based stick to line er up. like I say, it gets close enough so that small side to side adjustments can be made as I have a light single axle trailer.
my main point is that it is impossible to shove a fixed V tow bar sideways on a 4 wheel car. my first tow bar was a "rangefinder" that did have some slide to the side ability to adjust it.
