  • Replacement Hub and Drum Assembly for 3,500 Pound Trailer Axle

These have an inner bearing # L68149 and outer bearing # L44649, which you can verify match your existing assembly by checking the numbers stamped onto the bearings. These work with 10 inch brake assemblies. These hub and drum assemblies also have a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern. If...

  • Most Affordable Trailer Hitch Receiver And Trailer Wiring Kit For 2020 Audi SQ5
  • The most affordable route is to install Trailer Hitch Receiver # e94CR for your hitch receiver then for a trailer wiring kit you can use Vehicle Wiring Harness w/ 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C59496. For a ball mount to slide into the receiver that will allow fitment to your trailer, I recommend looking into Curt Fusion Ball Mount for 2" Hitches 1-7/8" Ball # C45151 if your trailer coupler is 1-7/8" or TowSmart Towing Starter Kit for 2" Hitches - 2" Ball # TS94FR if your trailer coupler...

  • Adding a 4-Pole Harness to a 2013 Audi Q7 with a Factory 7-Way
  • It sounds like you're trying to install a standard 4-pole on your vehicle. To add a 4-pole to the factory 7-way on your 2013 Audi Q7, you can use the Hopkins Plug-In Simple Wiring Harness, part # 41155. This will connect into your 7-way and give you the 4-pole you need. I've linked to a video installation of this harness on a 2018 Dodge Durango so you can see how it works. However, if you have a 4-way round on your trailer, then you can use two adapters to get it to hook up to your 7-way...

  • Recommended Anti-Rattle Device for 2013 Audi Q5 with Curt Cargo Basket
  • I recommend using the Roadmaster Quiet Hitch # RM-061, which will do a great job of eliminating hitch rattle and help stabilize your accessory during travel. There are some locking hitch pins that also function as anti-rattle devices, but they're typically designed to work only with specific brands of items and have proprietary threading on the bolts so they're not a great choice to cover anything you might be towing. This is why I like the Quiet Hitch as a solution that covers pretty much...

  • Parts Needed to Install Prodigy P2 # 90885 Brake Controller in 2015 Audi Q5
  • Your 2015 Audi Q5 does not have a quick-connect under-dash connection port for a brake controller like the excellent Prodigy P2 # 90885, but that just means you'll do a wired installation. We offer a complete kit for brake controller installation in your Q5, part # ETBC7. This kit includes a 7-way trailer socket, wiring, connectors and everything you'll need to wire your P2. I have linked an article and video concerning installation of this kit. If you don't already have a working 4-pole...

  • 2018 Audi Q7 Brake Controller Installation
  • If the Q7 has a factory 7-way socket you can simply plug in the Curt Echo brake controller # C51180, pair it to your smart phone and you're done. The Echo installs in your trailer connector so there is no bulky box to get in your way inside the car. Please check out the included video. But if you have no wiring you'll need to install a basic 4-pole harness and an upgrade kit to convert that wiring to the 7-way format required for the Curt Echo. Available 4-Pole kit with a non-invasive...

  • Parts Needed to Tow Trailer With 2016 Audi A3
  • Yes, you can tow your jet ski trailer with your 2016 Audi A3; I checked the owner's manual and it is safe to tow your jet ski trailer with this vehicle. I do recommend checking your manual to verify the load limits, however. In order to tow there are a number of parts you will need, and I will list them below. - Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11399 - Curt Drawbar for 1-1/4" Hitches # C45520 - 2" Hitch Ball # C40018 or 1-7/8" Hitch Ball # C40001 - Curt Hitch Pin and Clip # F-4 - ZCI...

  • Recommended Trailer Wiring Harness and Other Parts to Tow a Trailer With a 2017 Audi Q7
  • It sounds like you're looking for a trailer wiring harness for your 2017 Audi Q7. If the Audi came with the factory tow package but doesn't have the connector you can use the Curt # C55774 which will provide you with a 4-way and 7-way connector. This harness plugs into the tow package wiring harness which will be under the rear of the vehicle. If you don't have the tow package I recommend the ZCI Harness # 119250KIT. This installs by clamping to the Audi's existing wiring without splicing...

  • Recommended 4-Way and 7-Way Connectors for a 2015 Audi Q7
  • If you don't already have a 4-Way on your 2015 Audi Q7 then I recommend installing the Curt # C59236. Once you have a 4-Way for the basic trailer light wiring you then need to install the Universal Wiring Kit # ETBC7. This comes with all of the wiring and connectors that you need so that you have fully functioning 4-Way and 7-Way connectors. The ETBC7 kit comes with a mounting bracket that will match up perfectly with the mounting bracket on your Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch # 75950. We have...

  • Parts Needed to Install a 7-way on a 2008 Audi A6 Quattro Sedan
  • In order to install a 7-way at the rear of your 2008 Audi A6 you will first need a 4-way connector if you do not have one. For that I would recommend you get a Wiring Harness # C59496. The next thing you will need is a 4-way to 7-way Conversion Kit # ETBC7. This comes with everything needed to convert the 4-way to a fully functional 7-way. Check out the installation instructions and video I attached for this product too. The Hopkins 7-way # HM48470 that you referenced would work great...

  • Parts Needed for Thule Roof Rack to Fit 2018 Audi Q5
  • If you have at least 47" WingBar Evo bars, like part # TH711200 or # TH711220, then all you need to complete the roof rack system on your 2018 Audi Q5 is the Foot Pack # TH710601, and Fit Kit # TH186045. You might be able to get by with using slightly longer crossbars but since the opening on the underside of the WingBar crossbars doesn't run completely from one side to the other you won't be able to go with much longer bars.

  • Curt Echo Bluetooth Trailer Brake Controller C51180 Installation for 2015 Audi Q7 TDI
  • Yes, you will need an aftermarket trailer brake controller to equip your Audi Q7 for towing a trailer with brakes. The actual components included in an OEM "tow package" will vary by brand and model but the trailer brake controller itself is not included among them. If your Q7 has a factory 7-way connector similar to the one shown in the linked photo you have the option for an exceptionally easy brake controller installation. Curt's Echo Trailer Brake Controller # C51180 requires NO wiring,...

  • Trailer Hitch and e-Bike Rack Recommendations for a 2016 Audi A3
  • For a hitch you can use the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11399 on your 2016 Audi A3 convertible and then for a bike rack I really like the Kuat NV 2.0 Base # BA12B. This is a wheel mount bike rack with a weight capacity of 60 lbs per bike so if your bikes don't have front fenders and you remove the battery on each (which I'm assuming the 125 lbs is with the batteries) this will work great! If you don't have large fenders you might be able to use the Saris SuperClamp EX Bike Rack # SA4025F...

  • Availability of Trunk Mount Platform Rack for Carbon Fiber Bike on a 2016 Audi A3
  • The only platform mount option for carrying your carbon fiber road bike on your 2016 Audi A3 (based off of the vehicle info you input) that doesn't utilize a trailer hitch or a roof rack is the SeaSucker Komodo. This comes in Black # 298-BK1910-BK, Silver # 298-BK1910-SV, and Gold # 298-BK1910-GO and is compatible if you have a Sedan or Convertible. If you have a Sportback then there are no platform racks available without a trailer hitch or roof rack. I know at first the vacuumcups look...

  • Can the Thule UpRide Carry Childrens Bikes
  • The Thule UpRide Roof Bike Rack - Wheel Mount - Clamp On or Channel Mount - Aluminum # TH599000 can carry children's bikes with wheels as small as 20" in diameter; as long as the bike you're wanting to carry has that diameter tire or larger you'll be just fine. I'm not aware of a roof mounted bike carrier that will carry bikes with smaller than 20" tires, so if you've got a smaller tire on your children's bikes you may need to go with a trunk mounted carrier for that bike. I recommend...

  • Do you Sell 12x110mm Thru-Axel Adaptors for the Kuat Trio Roof Rack?
  • I may have a solution! I called Kuat, and they said that they did not have a thru-axel adaptor that would fit a 12x110mm. Although, great alternative to the Kuat Trio for an electric bike is the Yakima HighRoad Roof Bike Rack # Y02114. It has the weight compatibility you need for an electric bike without attaching at the wheel axel. In addition to the rack itself, you will need a few things: 1. Yakima CoreBar Crossbars # Y00421 2. RidgeLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars # Y00145 3. RidgeClip...
