Heavy Equipment Roadmaster 061 Quiet Hitch

The concept is very straightforward - use this to more tightly couple your hitch mount inside the receiver. The idea is the same as an anti rattle pin, but a different execution. Clamp it on properly, tighten the bolts, and the tension will prevent the hitch from rattling either vertically or laterally. If you tighten it hard enough, in theory it could prevent all movement whatsoever, but if you install it with the bolts up or down, it can still potentially move laterally a little. Not a flaw - just physics.

The only thing this lacks is some proper locking bolts. You'll get two pairs of bolts - one to secure the device and another to lock down the first pair. I'm not a fan of this means of retention, so you just have to check on it periodically to make sure nothing is backing out.

It seems like you could make something similar from parts at a home improvement store, but the piece of roundbar to which the bolts apply tension is the reason this seems to work so well. Duplicating that would involve cutting a piece of bar and drilling some holes (easy) but also grinding some flat spots into the bar at the location of those holes to give the bolts something flat to grab onto (not so easy)
