This part replaces 1 bearing half for your Thule Sidearm roof-mounted bike rack. The RQL bearing half provides the axle on which the ratchet arm turns.I purchased 4 RQL bearing halves for my Thule 916 T2 rack to keep the arms from rocking. I was surprised to find that the surfaces of the bearing clamp and arm, which surround the bearing halves, have a lot of wear due to friction.
The bearing halves do control the arm movement quite a bit and I am happy for that but feel that as some of the metal surrounding the new parts has worn they may not last as long as they could. I sprayed new parts and metal surfaces with Teflon spray to control more wear.
I still think this is the strongest hitch rack on the market.
I dealt with Elizabeth and has a wonderful experience. She went over and above to help me find the parts I needed. She communicated often and instantly. She sent pics and just amazed me with her follow thru. I received the parts and repaired my rack. Thanks again Elizabeth and Tom in shipping. I had two previous experiences with e trailer to get wiring harnesses for my cars. E trailer is great
Ordered some replacement parts for my Thule T2 platform bike rack. Pretty basic parts or good quality and have worked well. This review is more about the service from etrailer which was exceptional. The order went out quickly and shipping was upgraded. Communication was also excellent. I'm a repeat customer for a reason.
Installed easily and work as designed

Everything is fine. I used my experience working at a sporting goods store to decide on purchasing the Thule 619 T2 rack and like that parts are available to maintain it. Its not as tight as when new but neither am I.
