I'm not new to towing but I am new to towing with a car.. my question is about the hitch and receiver, since they are brand new and have no dirt/dust/rust to seal 'em up really good there is some play, very small like a 16th on an inch. Does this play go away? In the meantime, could I wrap some electrical tape or hockey tape around the hitch? When I did a test tow a couple of days ago this small amount of play resulted in some clanking noise, which is minor outside the vehicle but inside, it reverberates through the frame.. makes a heck of sound. Its especially bad towing just the trailer frame as there is so little tongue weight every little bump causes a rattle sound.
