How to Secure the Thule T2 Pro XT in Your Receiver So It Doesnt Wobble.
Question:
I installed the Thule T2 Pro XT to the hitch of my car but put the hitch lock in the locked position before I got the hitch tightened down and now the bike rack is wobbly. Is there a way to fix this problem because I am sure this problem has happened to other people. I just don’t understand why Thule does such a lousy job putting instructions together a written explanation as well as the diagram would have prevented this problem.

You'll just need to unlock the knob on the Thule T2 Pro XT # TH83JV and then continue tightening it down until it is snug, wobbling it along the way to make sure that it is secure in the hitch receiver. If you fast forward through the attached video until about the 2:40 mark, this explains in detail how to install this rack on your hitch and how to secure the anti-wobble knob to make sure that there isn't any more of the wobbling that you're experiencing.
You'll need to unlock the knob first, using the included key in order to allow for it to turn to tighten or release.

I am having trouble locking the lock on this knob. The key just won’t turn from the unlocked to locked position. Any tips? Thanks!

Hi l have the thule T2 fold out bike rack. I have the 50mm towball setup. When l sit the rack down on the tow ball and pull the handle down and then lock it the rack still swivels. Instructions say the pressure should be at 47kg. How do you work out the 47kg. Cheers Mike
