For your Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Dual Jaw - 16,000 lbs # RP30047 having play left to right, if you are talking about at the king pin, then you will want the Replacement Jaw Kit for Reese, Draw-Tite and Hidden Hitch Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitches # 58056.

If your hitch is working well at the jaws, then the pivot beam uses the Replacement Fifth Wheel Bumper Installation Kit for Draw-Tite, Hidden Hitch and Reese # 58089 to help with that issue. I've attached an explosion diagram of your hitch to assist.
