Does the Curt Bike Rack C18065 have an Anti-Rattle Hitch Bolt

Question

Question:

I appreciate your website and all of the detailed videos your provide! I am interested in the Curt 18065 Premium Dual-Arm 5-Bike Rack and have a couple of questions. Does this bike rack have a locking hitch pin available? Does the existing hitch pin keep the rack from moving rattling within the receiver? Thank you for your time.

Expert Reply:

The Curt Bike Rack part # C18065 does include a threaded hitch pin bolt that will tighten the shank of the rack to the hitch that the rack is installed in.

For a lock that you could run through the end of the bolt after it is installed you could use the # 131D.

I checked your order notes and the leaf springs you bought last year were the part #e28SR which are for 5k axles. Since this is over the capacity of your axle failure would not have been caused by over loading the trailer assuming you stayed under…

The Dexter 072-078-00 is a 2,200 lb capacity leaf spring. You can use a higher capacity leaf spring, however it won't increase the capacity of your trailer as the axle is still rated for that max capacity of 4,400 lbs. My recommendation for a…
