w/d bars noise suppresion

I have a w/d hitch on my trailer/truck. When towing the noise when turning is driving the better half batty, is there any way to quiet the noise from the bars sliding against metal? Have tried some grease on the metal to metal contact areas, no help.

Is there a way on installing a Teflon base for the metal bars to slide on. Any help appreciated.

    There are a couple hitches that don't have that noise.

    Blue Ox Swaypro and Andersen WD hitch

    The Blue Ox has an enclosed hitch head, with bars that snap in. The moving parts are internal. The grease is inserted with a grease gun.

    The Andersen has no bars at all. The anti sway, is brake material inside the ball shank and there is nothing to grease. Very quiet.

    About all you can do is clean and grease. If that doesn't help you've done about all you can.
