I have a weird pin box- tilts side to side
Just bought first 5th wheel. Not knowing anything about pin boxes. Has anyone seen a pin box that pivots side to side vs. front to back? It doesnt act right with my Pullrite auto slide hitch. ...

Sorry about no pics. Didnt know how.
So. See what is happening? The hitch tilts, but also the weird tilting pin box attachment tilts. It works. I've towed it for several miles to the storage lot and all. But, in town the issue is that when I make a turn one way, like a hard right... there's a loud bang from the device tilting that way. And then when my next turn is a hard left the device has to tilt the other way and due to the relation to the hitch it makes another loud bang.
Like I said, it's functioning, but those loud hard bangs can't be good for the attaching parts, I'd think.
I'm working on a plan to add some hard metal blocks under those wedge areas so that it can't tilt any more. So that it would act as a solid, untilting, pin box.
What do you think?
