I just greased the ball really well, hooked up, and towed our Escape back to storage. It still has the noise, that is probably more appropriately called a creak instead of a squeak. I hear it going...

Okay, the nuts squeak on the washers when tightening everything up, which is irrelevant. What is more interesting is that alternately loosening and tightening the nuts so the yoke rotates back and...

Good point. However, when the elastomer springs are compressed, and then flexed when going over bumps, I wonder if the effective hole diameter decreases and causes squeaking as the threads work back...

I didn't notice any squeaking of what I would attribute to the hitch itself, but I do hear some squeaking. I suspect the elastomer springs as I go over bumps, but I have no way to verify that. I...

Here's the result of towing 275 miles with a dryer sheet on the Andersen hitch. It's cut right through, getting back to metal on metal. For the remainder of our trip I used the Pennzoil stick...

I've used commercial plastic ball covers in the past, which I keep in a ziploc when not in use. I'm afraid the plastic bag would fly off while driving around between tows. The whole thing is a...

I'd forgotten about that. I'm heading over to storage to pick up our Escape this morning and will take a dryer sheet along. I've also heard of wax paper. And......I just remembered a stick of...

I'm not sure if this is totally relevant, but that doesn't usually deter me....we have now towed our Escape 9300 miles with the Andersen, and I'm beginning to see a wear spot develop just aft of the...
