Does Gen-Y Glyder Shock Absorbing Ball Mount # 325-GH-12001 Cushion Lighter Trailer Ride Quality

Question

Question:

I’m interested in trying the used Gen-Y Part Number 325-GH-12001 for use on my small aluminum cargo trailer. It is a Thule Cargopro 2000 which has a lower tongue weight- would this still help? It is a single axle and does clunk around quite a bit. I also have a single axle utility trailer which we use for carrying 3 round bales at a time and sometimes our 3000lb tractor. The balance of the utility trailer is pretty even because of the axle being located where it is making the tongue weight a little on lighter side. Thanks,
