I get a bit of movement between the ball and this particular coupler, is their a way to eliminate the slop and bang I get when moving from a stop to in motion?

There is no way to completely eliminate the slop between the hitch ball and the Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator w Electric Lockout - Bolt On - Disc - 2" Ball - Zinc - 7.5K # DX56FR.

You mentioned only getting a "bit" of movement, which is totally normal. If it was excessive and you have noticed it progressing to be worse over time then the only thing you would be able to do is replace the inner member with the Replacement Inner Member # DX99FR.
