You should not have replace your ***** often. Your ***** are supposed to last a lifetime. Take care of them.

I noticed that my ball has aquired some rust spotting. So I cleaned it off and applied a film of grease on it. Should I keep a film of lubricant or grease on my ball to prevent this spotting? I purchased a ball cover boot for it...so I really don'y know how my ball is doing underneath this cover I have to check and see in time. Any advice from the ball experts?

Sounds like Mike is doing significant research on the subject.

I like to apply just a light coat of lube on my *****.....it prevents rusting because I just leave it out in the weather uncovered, but protected by lube!

If your ball starts to rust, it's not the end of the world I assume. I mean I only used it a few times. They are cheap at Walmart anyway. They have quite an assortment of *****. Big *****, small *****, etc.

well maybe you need to grease them a little..so they won't hurt so much..and with handling them..don't be so ruff.

As I recall, there are these things called "saks" that work great for covering ones *****.

I bought a wiring harness from hidden hitch and it says that all you have to do is just unplug the one harness under the bumper and plug this in. Just wondered if anyone has used one of these before. Please respond I plan on installing this tomorrow.
