What do ya call it ?
Clamp thing that keeps your hitch from rattling and wobbling . I looked several places but I do not know what name I am searching for .

A properly sized and adjusted weight distribution hitch can't rattle so there has to be more to the OP's story as to why he's interested in an "anti rattle" product like this. :W
Perhaps he doesn't use a WD system, and knows that would be frowned on here... So he is leaving that part out. Or perhaps it is not for TT towing use (not sure why he would post that in a TT forum though) rather a utility trailer or something that doesn't require WD.
At any rate, such devices are not needed or even realistically possible when using WD.
They are just a solution in search of a problem.
Well my almost 10 years positive experience using the "Hitch Vise" IMO trumphs you're arm chair opinions. It's not so much about the rattle, but the slop that you can feel even with a WDH when initially starting from a stop or when in city stop and go traffic and it makes the trailer "wiggle" less due to any side to side movement of the drawbar during normal tow conditions. Finally, by taking all movement out of the drawbar in the receiver you reduce any tendency for the hitch pin to "wallow" out the hole in the receiver.
All this talk about the weight of the WDH should prevent any issues fails to appreciate the fact that the 1K or so TW is peanuts when a 4T TV is trying to move an 4T trailer via the slop between the drawbar and the receiver.
