Expert Reply:
Is the system possibly tightened too much which is causing too much pressure on the ball? Or is the trailer not sitting level which is causing undue stress on the ball around corners? This is the first time this has come up for us so I'd suspect either the ball was faulty or there's something unusual about your setup.
The replacement ball would then be the part # RP58060.
