Creaking and 

groaning noise

surfaces in the hitch 

head

Clean and lubricate the 

hitch ball and other friction 

surfaces of the head and 

spring bars (Step 10) using a 

high quality bearing grease.

Noise

Noise is a normal occurrence when towing a trailer and using any weight 

distribution or sway control hitch.
The majority of hitch noise can be eliminated by lubricating the hitch ball and other 

friction surfaces of the head as shown in Figure 25.
If after lubricating the hitch you still experience some noise, do not be alarmed. This 

is generally caused by the friction between the spring bars and L-brackets, which 

means you are getting good sway-resisting friction from your hitch.
Adjusting the preload angle of the hitch head and L-bracket height so the bars are 

more parallel to the frame when towing and sit flat on the L-brackets can also help 

reduce noise.
