That constant clunking and rattling from your hitch ball mount is not just annoying -- over time it can wear your receiver tube and hitch accessories prematurely. The B&W TS35040 Hitch Silencer is a simple, effective wedge-style insert that locks your ball mount or hitch accessory solidly in place inside a standard 2-inch receiver, eliminating the slop and rattle without pulling the pin and starting over every time you hook up.
Any standard 2-inch receiver hitch has a small amount of tolerance built into the tube opening -- that gap is what lets you slide the ball mount in and out easily. The problem is that same gap allows lateral and vertical movement when you're driving, and the result is that familiar metallic clunk every time you hit a bump or slow down. It's worse on rougher roads, heavier loads, and older hitches where the tube has worn slightly.
B&W's TS35040 silencer solves this with a precision-fit rubber and steel wedge insert that fills that gap and applies consistent outward pressure against the receiver tube walls. The ball mount stays locked in place, the rattle disappears, and your hitch components last longer because they're not constantly hammering against the receiver.
Designed specifically for Class III and Class IV 2-inch receiver hitch tubes. Slides in alongside your existing ball mount or hitch insert.
Wedge installs and removes by hand in seconds. No drilling, no modifications, and no permanent changes to your hitch receiver.
B&W uses tough rubber and formed steel in the TS35040 to handle road vibration, weather exposure, and the repeated flex of towing without cracking or deforming.
Compatible with standard ball mounts, bike racks, cargo carriers, trailer hitches, and other 2-inch receiver accessories that use a standard hitch pin.
The TS35040 is a wedge-style silencer. You slide it into the receiver alongside your ball mount shank, and when your hitch pin is inserted and locked, the silencer is compressed between the shank and the receiver tube wall. This eliminates the gap that causes rattle. No adhesive, no permanent fasteners -- just remove the pin, slide out the silencer, and it comes free with the ball mount.
