Can somebody recommend a snug fitting ball mount? I bought Curt 45033 and it rattles like crazy.

I agree! It rattles really bad because the ball mount don't fit snugg. Really weird! Let me know if you find one!

I had the same problem. It is because it is not very long. I suggest you drill a half inch hole fore or aft of the pin going completely through and install a bolt and nut. That will take out any looseness and be very secure.

I am using a RAM mount with mine, but I had to wrap the Daystar ball with electrical tape to get it to fit. The ball is much smaller than 1".

Ours fits, but it is tight. Did you lubricate it? Hitches often get a little corrosion (rust) on the inside, so you might need a combination of oil and a little persuasion (I used some gentle taps from a dead blow mallet). Also, the weight of the basket makes it hard to get it to go straight in.

This was a real mess. I had several unfruitful conversations with Go Rhino. Then I got lucky. Most receiver hitches are drilled for a 5/8" pin as is the receiver. The Go Rhino I believe is 9/16." The next lockable size down I think is 1/2" for smaller receivers. We were getting ready to drill the Go Rhino out to make the 5'8" lock pin work when my friend suggested we try the 5/8" lock pin. Surprisingly, it fit. My non locking 5/8" hitchpins did not. We had to shim the Go Rhino with some self adhesive loop side velcro strips to snug it into the receiver. My 5/8" locking pin is actually 9/16." The one I have is Reese Professional 5/8" Stainless Steel Receiver Lock. Model # 70302. I think I got it at Academy Sports. If not there, I probably got it at O"Reilly Auto Parts.

If you have a standard 2 inch hitch, you will be fine. Mine fits snug. I don't hear any rattling at all, it could be because of the black powder coat paint job. Not sure. I love mine. Feels sturdy. I think it'll look great for a smaller truck. Mine is dwarfed only cuffs I drive a Tundra. It's also a nice deep black. I hate it when I buy something black and its faded, or more grey/black. I'm a pretty happy customer.

Bill: I have mine on a 55" TV and totally satisfied. The unit uses ball bearing and swivels easily without any friction or roughness of operation. I have a smaller one (not this brand) for for my 40" TV as well. This particular item met my expectations and would purchase another one. I believe you will find this item meeting your needs for functionality and ease of operation. David

There are multiple threaded holes in back to accommodate most all ball heights, it's just an anti rattle anyhow, you won't here anything while your towing if you don't use it. It's a good hitch, don't let the anti rattle stop you from buying it.

I'm not really sure, but I would assume that if it has the standard ball head mounting stud it should be just fine...I really like this ball head...very sturdy and easy to use.

Mine fits just find. You will have to view it in landscape mode. So far it holds up well. I have it in my semi truck. With all the bouncing around shaking it has never falling off.

Similar problem - no way to get to nut inside channel to tighten down properly either. Might work for a smaller ball, but I would not trust it even if you could get it on there. The workaround I used (found on Amazon as I needed ASAP for a trip) was to purchase a different receiver hitch that had a "piggy back" receiver welded above it. The upper one can be used to hold the bike rack and the "real" one below allows a ball to be mounted properly. Added advantage is you can get a MUCH better tow rating / capacity using this configuration.Hope this helps.MP

My advice is to send it back. My Bounce back lasted less than a year before the springs started ripping thru their supports. Champion said tough luck. Find a different brand.

Best suggestion is to go buy your actual gps mount piece that will fit onto the ball. My beanbag stand came with a clamp but broke with 48 hours cause its a universal clamp n didn't firmly hold my gps! Hope this was helpful! The money u saved by buying the beanbag will easily cover the price of the correct clamp to go on the ball!

Questions if it fits your vehicle. I actually called Curt manufacture and gave them the type of vehicle I have and they were kind enough to give me the part number for the hitch. I than went to Amazon and typed in the part number and ordered the right one. Google the manufacture and give them a call to get the correct one. Also Amazon is usually less than the manufacture price.

Ok this is the best idea to stop rattles to place on each hitch connection, if you hate the annoying noises of rattles then you have to use it as many slack connections existed!

That is the type and brand of pole we have. Just unscrew the ball on top and put the bolt through the light. You may have to leave the lock nut off but that should never be a problem. Hand tighten snugly but no wrench
