Our Fortwos have the small 1.25 by 1.25 inch class 1 receiver. When I put the drawbar into the receiver and insert the pin it fits snugly side to side, but has a lot of play up and down. Every bump causes it to rattle whether I am towing or not. I took some black electrical tape and did 2 wraps around the drawbar and it would no longer fit in the receiver because the sides were too tight. I went to a single wrap of electrical tape and it would tightly start to insert but then just tear the tape. Does anyone have a solution to quiet this unruly drawbar? I am changing it out often as I use 1 7/8 ball and drawbar and another drawbar has my 2 inch one. Plus I use it a lot for my bicycle rack and it doesn't rattle because it has a bolt that threads through it instead of a hitch pin. Any ideas are appreciated. DCO
