  • Curt Hitch for 2018 BMW X3 and Does it Interfere with Hands Free Liftgate
  • I checked with Curt and for your 2018 BWM X3 the part # C13387 is a confirmed fit and they state that the hands free liftgate will still work once installed. You'll just have to kick to either side of the hitch opening or make a wider movement with your foot. Whats really great about this hitch is that only the hitch tube hangs below the rear bumper so you get a more hidden hitch with better ground clearance.

  • Is Replacement R01 Key Available for Rola Roof Rack on a 2007 BMW X5 4.8I with Raised Rails
  • The Replacement Universal Change Key # 59321 is designed to only remove and install unlocked lock cores so it unfortunately will not unlock a locked core, plus it isn't compatible with the "R" series of Rola cores. Your best best to continue using that roof rack is to have a locksmith create a new key for you since the Rola line of products has been discontinued. If you'd rather switch to a new roof rack system that currently has parts available for your 2007 BMW X5 then I recommend checking...

  • How to Identify Correct Replacement Hub Based on Bearing Part Number or Spindle Dimensions
  • The bearings in trailer hubs are measured to very precise dimensions, to the nearest thousandth of an inch, such as 1.234-inches. To find a suitable replacement hub to fit on your existing trailer spindles either the bearing part numbers or these precise measurements are needed to ensure you select a hub that fits on the spindles. The new hub must use the same bearings as the original. If you refer to the linked photo you'll see how these part numbers typically appear on bearings. If these...

  • Thule Ski and Snowboard Carrier for a 2013 BMW X5 with Factory Roof Rack
  • I recommend the Thule SnowPack, available as part # TH7326 for the base model and with a slide out feature as part # TH7325. These racks are great, easy to install and remove from your factory crossbars, and allows for a little more flexibility in when and how to use, as they double as a great way to transport fishing rods during the spring and summer. Both of these carriers include four keyed-alike locks for added security and I've included video reviews of these racks so you can get...

  • Replacement 1200 lb Axle for Starcraft Starflyer Pop-Up Camper
  • We don't offer replacement torsion beam axles, but we do offer the Timbren Axle-Less suspension that typically doesn't require an axle beam and won't require leaf springs, which could be a good solution for you. My research indicates that the Starflyer weighed around 1200 lbs. If the ID tag on your pop-up confirms this, we offer some Timbren Axle-Less suspension systems that would work for you. For the system with 4 on 4 bolt pattern idler hubs included, I'd recommend the # A12RS440....

  • Replacement Mounting Hardware Kit for Sears Sport 15-CAV Rooftop Cargo Carrier
  • The Sear cargo boxes were made for them by Thule. Although the original mounting kits are no longer available it is easy enough to adapt another u-bolt mounting kit to work well on this rooftop cargo box. It really just depends on the type of roof rack and the dimensions of that rack's two crossbars. The kit # TH05603 that you referenced includes u-bolts that fit bars up to 3-3/4-inches wide and 1-3/4-inches tall. If your roof bars are within these dimensions then this kit is the best...

  • Identifying Replacement Wheel Bearings for Unknown Hubs on Boat Trailer
  • The easiest way to identify the needed replacement bearing kit is to obtain the reference numbers off the existing bearings. Your best bet would be to clean the existing bearings and closely examine them for the reference numbers. Given the inside diameter you provided, the bearings could be a # LM67048, # 15123 or # 14125A, all of which have a 1.25 inch inside diameter. All three bearings are listed as outer bearings for certain hubs, none of the hubs we offer would use these as both...

  • Determining Correct Replacement Brakes for 1973 South Park 1700 Travel Trailer
  • In order to find the correct electric brakes for your 1973 South Park 1700 you will need to identify what you currently have. Brakes typically correspond with axle capacity and need to match the brake flange bolt pattern as well as the size of the drum on your hub and drum assembly. More than likely you have at least a 3,500 lb axle/axles on your travel trailer so we will start there. For a 3,500 lb 10" x 2-1/4" brake assembly that fits a 4 bolt brake flange you can use the # AKEBRK-35-SA....

  • Replacement Hardware for Curt Trailer Hitch C11184 for a 2013 BMW 128i
  • The bumper beam mount studs on the 2013 BMW 128i are part of the factory bumper beam/trunk panel mount assembly. If they are not present then someone on the assembly line wasn't paying attention! The hitch installation should not have been completed if those studs were missing. The nuts could have been cross-threaded on which would mean that the threads on the studs would have to be re-cut. Regardless to get the properly rated nuts for the hitch you will need # RHK. Enter the hitch number...

  • Replacement Keys for 2008 BMW 5 Series Roof Rack
  • It looks like Thule is responsible for making the roof racks on your 2008 BMW 5 Series. Of course, I have heard reports that there were some that used a different roof rack. You should call your local BMW dealership with your VIN number to double check which you have. If it turns out that you have the Thule rack, then the replacement key for your 020 is part # THKEYN020, and the key for your 013 is part # THKEYN013.
