I just got off the phone with Diversi-Tech so that I could get a better explanation and they said that the main reason they got rid of the ball bearings is that only about 30% of hitches were deep enough for the ball bearings to be effective. Most of the time the bearings stuck out beyond the hitch so they weren't getting used and then they also had a problem with the bearings popping out on some ball mounts so they just did away with the design.

A better solution to prevent rattle with this ball mount since it has a solid shank would be a product like the # BX88224.
