I have a question about my trailer. I have a pintle hitch and when I bought it the "eye" was left a little loose so it could rotate and the nut that secures it is pinned in place so it can't back out. It's kind of cool that way in that it allows for some movement and self-alignment as I'm towing. But I have been thinking lately that it is likely stressing that way and could eventually lead to a stress fracture/failure. But if it's torqued tightly would that also cause stressing that might eventually lead to failure?
Do you guys know if this is standard operating procedure or ...?
