Loose weight distribuition hitch?

[gizzoat]

Just bought a used travel trailer and the weight distribution hitch is a little loose between the adjustable square shank and the ball mount apparatus. There are two 3/4" screws that appear tight, but there is some slop.

Common sense tells me this should be very tight. Thoughts?

Thanks,

The parts need to be shimmed to a good fit before installing the bolts.

Those 2 3/4 bolts are supposed to be tightened to 260 FT*LB of torque. I remember my torque wrench didn't go high enough for me. I just estimated, and mine snugged up tight after some slop by the dealer's installation. I know they didn't use a torque wrench, but when I adjusted it,there definitely wasn't enough torque on those bolts.. BTW, I have a different hitch, but similar construction.
