It sounds like you have a new receiver, and the shank of your weight-distributing hitch, or the old weight-carrying ball mount/drawbar, is a loose fit in the receiver tube. If that's the case, and assuming both the receiver and the drawbar or shank are 2" parts, then nothing to worry about. The pin (J-pin?) that holds the drawbar or shank in the receiver is what needs to be a tight fit. So the holes for that pin in both the drawbar and the receiver needs to be identical diameter so the pin of the proper diameter will fit snuggly in there.
With the pin installed, there should not be more than a smidgen of back-and-forth movement of the shank in the receiver.
DrawTite makes a Class 5 Ultra Frame receiver with a 2" receiver.
Draw-Tite Ultra Frame 2" receiver
However, they also make the much more popular class 5 receiver with a 2.5" receiver. If the receiver is a 2.5" receiver and the drawbar/shank is a 2" jobbie, then you need an adapter to convert the 2.5" receiver into a 2" receiver.
