  • Ground Clearance Of Curt Trailer Hitch # 11344 Installed On 2007 Audi A6
  • I contacted our representative at Curt about the Curt Trailer Hitch, part # 11344. He informed me that from the bottom of the receiver to the ground, there is 9 inches of clearance. The distance from the top of the receiver to the ground, will measure 10-1/4 inches. The representative at Curt sent a picture showing the hitch installed on an Audi A6. I have used Photoshop to illustrate the ground clearance you will have with part # 11344 installed on your Audi A6. The Curt Hitch # 11344...

  • Can MaxxFan Deluxe Roof Vent w/ 12V Fan & Powered Lift Run on 10 Amp Circuit
  • Happy to help, and the photo you are referencing (below) is of the MaxxFan Deluxe Roof Vent with the garnish (collar piece). It does have a power lift, and the separation you are seeing is just the vent open. So yes, there is a power lift unit different from a manual lift. The power lift is the 700k you mentioned, and is available in both white and black: - White: MaxxFan Deluxe Roof Vent w/ 12V Fan, Thermostat, and Remote - Powered Lift # MA00-07000K - Black: MaxxFan Deluxe Roof Vent...

  • Trailer Hitch And Wiring For 2013 Audi A4 Sedan
  • The Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver, part # DT24950 is a great hitch for your 2013 Audi A4. This is a Class l hitch and it has a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. I am sending the installation instructions in a separate email. If you are planning on towing I recommend a ball mount like part # 3593. This ball mount features a 2-1/8 rise and 2-3/4 inch drop. for a 2 inch hitch ball I recommend part # 19258 and for a 1-7/8 ball you would need part # 19256. If you need trailer wiring...

  • Will The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver Interfere With Rear Traffic Sensors In A 2021 Audi Q5
  • The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e94CR isn't going to interfere with the rear traffic sensors on your 2021 Audi Q5. Typically the only issue you would have with a trailer hitch receiver is just with rear liftgate sensors, which is typically only a minor blockage just where the receiver tube is sitting.

  • 2020 Audi Q3 Question on 1-1/4" & 2" Receiver
  • I understand your concern since you were told by your Audi dealer something different, but bike racks are manufactured in both 1-1/4" & 2" receivers. So you are just fine, simply select a bike rack that is for a 2" receiver or use a 1-1/4" to 2" adaptor. Many bike racks such as the Thule Hitching Post Pro # TH934XTR fit both 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches. This bike rack comes with an easy-to-use adapter sleeve used to convert the 1-1/4" shank for use with 2" hitches. Class I and Class II trailer...

  • Will Trailer Hitch Weaken Bumper of 2015 Audi Q5
  • That's a good question but no, the bumper on your 2015 Audi Q5 will not be damaged more easily and will not be more fragile with the installation of the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75940. The bumper support is directly replaced by the hitch, and in fact the bumper support is made of aluminum while the hitch is steel. So the hitch won't negatively affect you (or your pup getting in and out) of your Audi. I also wanted to add that if you plan on doing some towing and need...

  • 2020 Audi Q5 What Can I Do If OEm Crossbars Are Not Level?
  • All of the roof racks we carry for your vehicle will use the same tower assembly for all four towers. For example the Thule roof rack consisting of the Wingbars # TH711320, Foot pack # TH710601 and fit kit # TH186045. All four of the # TH710601 towers are the same height. So if the curvature of the roof causes the OEM crossbars to be slightly uneven, this will also be the case with an aftermarket roof rack. Unfortunately there is no work around.

  • Purpose of Curt Stabilizing Strap # 18050
  • In order to satisfy Curt warranty requirements, any of their Class I or II receivers (like the C11423 you referenced) as well as a few of their Class III hitches must be used with a stabilizing strap like part # 18050. This applies to any non-trailer loads like a bike rack or cargo carrier. Curt has this warranty provision because of the lower tongue weight capacities of Class I and II hitches. The strap prevents any bouncing of the bike rack or other hitch mounted accessory from damaging...

  • Recommended Maintenance for Convert-A-Ball Cushioned Ball Mount # AMSC2
  • Thank you for your purchases from etrailer back in 2010. I do see you ordered several trailering components such as brake assemblies, bearings and bearing protectors but I did not see the Convert-A-Ball Cushioned Ball Mount # AMSC2 among them. In any case, my contact at Convert-A-Ball confirmed that you should NOT use a spray lubricant like WD-40 or PB Blaster since these products, while very good in certain applications, could contain compounds that are not friendly to the polyurethane...

  • Does 2015 Audi Q5 Need Two or Four Konig Snow Tire Chains
  • Awesome choice for snow tire chains for your 2015 Audi Q5, and I took a look at the online owner's manual, and it says that you should only use snow tire chains on the rear wheels, so you will only need two snow tire chains. For these, I highly recommend going with chains that are easy to put on and offer the best tire coverage, which are chains from Konig. The correct ones will depend on your Audi's tire size: - 235/55-19 Tires: Konig Tire Chains # TH01594250 - 235/60-18 Tires: Konig...

  • Replacement Option For Thule Helium TH971XT With Discontinued Shank
  • Thank you so much for the photo it was really helpful, and based off of that what you have is the Thule Helium TH971XT. I checked with Thule directly regarding a replacement shank, but it has been discontinued for some time. While I know it's not the news you were wanting to hear, the best option we can offer is a replacement with the newest version of the Helium 3-bike rack: - Thule Helium Pro 3 Bike Rack # TH9043PRO This is the newest version of the Helium rack, and will be an upgrade...

  • Why Cant 2019 Audi Q7 Use Weight Distribution System
  • The reason a 2019 Audi Q7 cannot use a weight distribution system is because the hitch that fits, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13277, is not rated for use with a weight distribution system; I can only render a guess but it is likely the OEM hitch is also not rated for use with one of these systems. The reason for that is the amount of torque on the hitch and where it is installed on the vehicle puts too much force on for the hitch to withstand. What I strongly recommend as an alternative...
