I don't think you're seeing the articulation of it right...the up/down movement is controlled by the tube under the towbar, this tube is pinched between 2 rose joints, it can go up about 45deg, and down 90deg !!Looks good. Are there plans to shorten the tubes the bolts run through on your mount? It looks like a pinch point should you hit a substantial dip in the road.
The turning movement is done by the 2 rose ball joints (one above the other).
