I spoke with Curt tech support today, and they confirmed that 1/4 " is about a normal slack tolerance with the jaws around the pin.
Sounds like you have the slide bar model of the Curt 16k hitch.
It's VERY secure...if the bar is across the pin in the back...you are locked in. The down side is that there is some slop with a slide bar hitch. If it is the Slide bar version there should be a tension rod at the back of the hitch head that is supposed to take some of the slop out.
Thanks!

No slider, play in the head and too much leg to base rail play also.
But the sliding back and forth on head is what bothers me.
Just checking as mine were missing on installation, but are there 1/8 inch rubber bushings at each rail pin location between the hitch and rails? If not you definitely need them, as my Q20 would "clunk" each time we had a momentum change and almost 1 inch of head movement. After placement of bushings no issue at all. I called Curt they sent them out for free. It is however a definite design flaw they are fixing with these bushings.
I went through several packs of the rubber pads, they are made for the slider units, not my Q16 with base legs. The small foot print of the solid legs chews them up in one trip with the small foot print that contacts the base rails.
