Gleavi 4pc hitch spacers cushions – rubber receiver pads, black
Small but surprisingly useful, these rubber pads do exactly what they’re meant to — cut down rattle and stop that annoying metal‑on‑metal clatter between your hitch and receiver. If your towing setup sounds louder than it ought to, or you can see wear where the parts meet, these cushions are a quick, inexpensive way to quiet things down and help protect the kit.
what they are and why they help
Made from tough rubber, the pads sit between the steel receiver and the hitch, soaking up vibration and preventing direct contact. That simple buffer trims road rattle and prevents scraping that can lead to corrosion and premature wear. No gimmicks — just plain cushioning that makes a real difference, especially on bumpy B‑roads or long motorway runs.
practical details
- Pack contents: 4 x hitch receiver pads – enough for a pair of hitches or handy spares.
- Size: 7.5 x 7.5 x 1.2 cm – a neat profile that fits the majority of tow ball carriers and receivers.
- Material: durable rubber built to handle repeated use in wet and dry conditions.
- Colour: black – unobtrusive and easy to live with on most towing setups.
easy to fit, easy to live with
Fitting is dead simple: slide the pad into the receiver or pop it around the hitch plate where they meet. No tools, no faffing about. They generally stay put under normal towing conditions, but it’s sensible to give them a quick once‑over during regular trailer checks — especially after heavy loads or off‑road use.
who will find them useful
If your trailer rattles, vibration is passing into the tow vehicle, or you can see paint worn away at contact points, these pads are a sensible, low‑cost addition. They’re great for regular towerers, anyone using hire trailers, or those who want to keep resale value up by preventing dings and wear.
One important note: these pads are there to reduce rattle and protect surfaces, not to carry load. Always rely on the rated capacity of your hitch and towbar. If you’ve got an unusual receiver, double‑check the dimensions first — 7.5 x 7.5 x 1.2 cm is the starting point.
final thoughts
Quiet, simple and effective — the Gleavi pads are a small upgrade that pays off. No fuss, long‑lasting rubber and a straightforward fit make them an easy way to keep towing quieter and kinder to the metalwork. That’s a proper bonus on those cold, wet mornings when the last thing you want is extra noise and rattles.
