After searching for this obscure part ALL over the internet, I finally found it at the "A" place. The price was reasonable, however it was sold through a 3rd party, and the shipping time would be 1 to 3 months. I just happened to find your website, searched for the part and ordered it. It was here within a week (might have been sooner, but I was away for several days). I had it installed within a minute and now my trailer hitch is secure, and we are going camping this weekend. THANK YOU SO MUCH
no part = no trailer hitch. No trailer hitch = no camping

I bought these to take up slack between the hitch head and shank. Perfect thickness. They were too long to fit the hitch I had. So I cut them to length and redrilled the holes. Perfect! My hitch is not the cast head and that is what these are for. I'm sure they would have fit in one of those. I modified them instead of sending them back because of the time issue. They worked perfect and I would order them again.
etrailer is a great place for any hitch related items. Thanks!

view full answer... - Excessive Play in a Reese Weight Distribution Head Between Head and ShankI spoke with my contact at Reese who said there should not be any play in the head once the bolts are properly torqued down. When installed it is possible that the bolts were not torqued to the right specs according to the installation instructions. If they were then my contact said that there is a shim kit you can use to remove that excess play, # 58207. The shim kit is included with most Reese systems but if you do not have it then you can use # 58207 as a replacement. I have included...
