    there is a small shock absorber in the actuator that is probably worn out, depending on which brand it is, it can be replaced without too much work.

    You probably have a little slack in your receiver hitch. I used to hear that, may pin that I used to hold the hitch in was a little small for the hole and when stopped it would allow slack. I got a bigger locking pin and the noise was gone.
