Is the receiver hitch itself moving up ,and down ?? Most likely its the bike rack or those platforms that are moving up ,and down from the play in the receiver ,not the receiver .
From what I can see when following a car or fifth wheel with those carriers its the carrier itself thats moving around inside of the receiver .
Thats one of things I dislike about my Andersen Rapid hitch, its aluminum, and between the play in it ,and the play in the sleeve adapter that enables us to use hitches with the 2x2 tube or solid bar that goes in these new 3 x 3 receiver hitches on the newer trucks . I hit a bump ,and I can hear it rattle in the receiver when there is nothing being towed. So I can imagine how much a bike rack would be bouncing up ,and down.
