Expert Answers about Chevrolet Impala


  • Trailer Hitch for 2019 Chevy Impala and Recommended Ball Mount, Hitch Ball and Wiring
  • There is a trailer hitch for your 2019 Chevy Impala; I highly recommend the Curt # C12115 because it is a bolt-on installation that will not require drilling into your Impala's frame to install. This Class II, 1-1/4" trailer hitch has a black powder coat finish which helps protect it from corrosion and also has a 3,500 lb towing capacity and 350 lb tongue weight capacity, though I did check the owner's manual and it states the maximum weight your Impala can tow is 1,000 lbs so that is...

  • Roof Rack Recommendation for 2015 Chevy Impala
  • Sportrack has two fitguides for their roof racks. One is an internal spreadsheet with all of the current fits listed and the outdated one they put on their website. What you have found is the outdated fitguide that does not include all of the current fits. The most current and accurate fitguide of theirs shows that the Sportrack # SR1010 does fit your 2015 Chevy Impala so we can recommend it as a fit. That said, this is a semi-custom roof rack fit which means it's designed to fit as many...

  • Recommend Trunk Mount Bike Rack for 2007 Chevy Impala
  • The Thule Passage 3 Bike Carrier, part # TH911XT, would be ideal for two adult and one childrens bicycle. This rack uses the Thule Fit Dial to tailor its fit specifically for your vehicle. Since you will be transporting a childs bike I would recommend the Thule Bike Adapter Bar, part # TH982XT. This bar attaches to the center seat post and to the handlebar post and provides a horizontal bar, so the bike can ride level on the bike rack. I am including a link to a video review on the Thule...

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendation for 2014 Chevy Impala
  • We have hitches that fit your 2014 Chevy Impala like the Draw Tite Class II hitch part # 36543 which is what I recommend. It installs easily and also gives you a mostly hidden solution. This is a bolt on hitch that does not require any welding. For trailer wiring our most reliable option is the Tekonsha # 118590 which I recommend for you. For a ball mount the # 36061 is the required part number and then for a ball # 19257.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch And Trailer Wiring For 2017 Chevrolet Impala Premier
  • I recommend the Draw-Tite # 36538 trailer hitch for two reasons. First, the Curt hitch # C12115 requires trimming of the underbody trim panel. And second, the Curt hitch requires the use of a stabilizing strap like part # 18050 when using the hitch for any non-trailer items like bike racks and cargo carriers. Both trailer hitches are visible, but the Curt hitch may be a little less visible because of the underbody trimming. The # 36538 hitch requires no drilling for installation. This...

  • Possible Hub Recommendation to Fit Mobile Home Axle with Bearings 25580 and 102949
  • There is a slight chance you have number 42 spindle dimensions on your mobile home axle. Measure the diameter of your spindle to get the exact dimensions of where the bearings and seals ride. If the bearing dimensions are 1.74 and 1.25 and the seal diameter is 2.24 then you are in luck. A hub like part # AKIHUB-865-7-1-K would fit. I attached a link to a page that has all the fits as well.

  • Recommendation for a Roof Rack and Transporting 2 Kayaks with a 2004 Chevrolet Impala LS
  • The maximum weight capacity of the SportRack Roof Rack # SR1002 is 130lbs. You will be limited by the lowest rated item, which may be how much weight your roof can handle, I would consult your owners manual to see if there are any restrictions. I recommend the Yakima JayLow, part # Y04073, because its light weight and will accommodate square bars without weighing your already loaded rack down. This kit comes with the straps you will need to secure your one kayak to the Impala. For a...

  • Brake Controller and Wiring Harnesses Recommended for My 1967 Chevy Biscayne Wagon
  • For a great brake controller for your 1967 Chevrolet Biscayne Wagon, I recommend the Curt Echo # C51180. Not only is the Curt Echo smart phone controllable, it has a super easy plug-and-play installation into your 7-way plug. While the vast majority of brake controllers require a plug-in harness that requires additional splicing, you will not have this headache with the Echo. On top of all that, it is completely assembled in the U.S.A. In order to install a brake controller on your vehicle,...

  • 2008 Chevy Impala Roof Rack Recommendation
  • So the Sportrack Semi-Custom roof rack part # SR1010 isn't a totally custom fit roof rack for any vehicle. Basically Sportrack made this rack to fit as many vehicles as possible which means it doesn't always fit every vehicle perfectly. For that reason I try not to recommend the Sportrack roof racks for anyone as they don't fit well a lot of the time. The most cost-effective custom roof rack we have for your 2008 Impala is the Rhino Rack part # RRVA126B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK187 which...

  • Recommended 12 Inch Vehicle Side 4-Way With Mount And Cover
  • Instead of cutting off your plug and splicing, I recommend using the Hopkins 4-Pole Loop - 12" Long # HM48145 along with some dielectric grease like the Loctite Bulb, Lamp, and Electrical Connection Dielectric Grease - 0.33-Oz Tube # LT37534 to keep water and debris out of your connections. For a mounting bracket, I recommend the Mounting Bracket 4-Pole Flat # 18144 along with the No-Drill Mount Bracket, Short # 18140. For your dust cover, I recommend the Trailer Wiring 4 Pole Flat (Vehicle...

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2015 Chevy Impala LTZ
  • Your assessment of the trailer hitches for the 2015 Chevy Impala LTZ are correct. Curt trailer hitch # C12115, Draw-Tite hitch # 36538, and Hidden Hitch # 90242 (no longer available) all install in a similar fashion at the same places. the Draw-Tite and Hidden Hitch models even share the same instructions. Quality wise all of the hitches meet or exceed industry standards. Some people tend to like the finish on the Curt hitches better. All three of these hitches fit both LT and LTZ models...

  • Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier Recommendation for a 2011 Chevy Impala
  • For a roof rack for your 2011 Chevy Impala with a naked roof the Rhino Rack Square Bar Roof Rack part numbers # RRVA126B-2, # RRRLKVA and # DK187 would be a great option and also has a great price. Then for a SUP carrier the Lockrack Adjustable XL Watersport Carrier part # LR54FR would be a great option that can carry up to 2 boards. I wouldn't recommend leaving the board in it's bag though as it could whip around and damage itself or the board.

  • Ball Mount Recommendation for a 2010 Chevy Impala
  • For a ball mount for the hitches that fit your 2010 Chevy Impala use Draw-Tite Drawbar for 1-1/4" Hitches - 3-1/8" Rise - 9-3/4" Long - 3,500 lbs Item # 36061. This ball mount takes a ball with a 3/4 inch diameter shank such as # 19258 for a 2 inch or # 19257 for a 1-7/8 inch.

  • Will the Thule Passage 2 Bike Trunk Mounted Rack # TH910XT Fit on a 2008 Chevy Impala
  • Yes, the Thule Passage 2 Bike Carrier, # TH910XT, would be a good choice for your 2008 Chevy Impala. We have a video review of this rack to help you make your decision. The rack I would consider for your car would be the Thule OutWay Bike Carrier, # TH45JV, which I recently had a chance to install on a vehicle. This rack was the easiest to install and remove trunk mounted carrier, especially after the initial setup, that I have ever installed. If you will be carrying any bikes that do...

  • Bike Rack Options to Carry 50 Lb Electric Bike on 2013 Chevy Impala
  • Thank you for the photo! I do have a solution for you, however, no trunk bike rack has the capacity to carry the weight of your electric bike. According to my research, your son's Ancheer electric bike weights approximately 50 lbs and most trunk bike racks max out at 35 lbs per individual bike, including the Thule Passage # TH910XT you were checking out. Your only option is to install a trailer hitch for use with a hitch mounted rack. This eliminates any potential issues with the factory...

  • Parts Needed to Tow Boat Trailer with 2005 Chevy Impala
  • We have everything need to get your 2005 Chevy Impala set up for towing a small boat trailer. Starting with the trailer hitch, the Draw-Tite Class 2 Trailer Hitch Receiver # 36407 that you referenced is confirmed to fit your vehicle and is what I recommend going with. The Class II hitch gives you a strong unit and will make it easy to find compatible accessories down the line (such as bike racks and cargo carriers) if you ever decide to use the hitch in that manner, since it has the...

  • Trailer Hitch Comparisons and Recommendation for a 2012 Chevy Impala
  • Hidden Hitch and Draw Tite are both made by the same company so basically they are the exact same with the exception that the Hidden Hitch part # 90137 (no longer available) comes with a ball mount and a pin and clip and the Draw Tite part # 36407 does not come with this. Curt is it's own company so the part # C12252 would be similar but made by a different company. The biggest disadvantage to Curt is the requirement of a stabilizer strap like part # 18050 when used with a non-supported...

  • Picking Out Replacement Hub for 80's Car Mate Enclosed Trailer
  • We don't actually have any hub centric hubs as everything we offer is the more common lug-centric setup. Due to age of your trailer most likely the hubs you have are not compatible with what is available now but the axles could have been replaced. To pick out replacement hubs you would need to know the axle capacity and the bearing numbers/spindle dimensions where bearings ride as well as the wheel bolt pattern.

  • Bike Rack Recommendation for 2019 Chevy Impala with Best Ground Clearance
  • I think I have a better solution for you, but all of the trailer hitches for your 2019 Chevy Impala are going to sit lower to the ground and about the same height. The Curt # C12115 and the Draw Tite part # 36538 both are going to be right at 10 inches from the ground. Since you want to carry a bike rack a trunk mounted bike rack would be your best option to allow to carry bikes and not have ground clearance issues. For that I recommend the Yakima Fullback part # Y02634 which is a confirmed...

  • Coil Helper Spring Product to Remove Sag From Rear of 2012 Chevy Impala When Trunk is Loaded
  • The Coil SumoSpring helper springs you mentioned, part # CSS-1195R will indeed help stiffen your rear suspension when it's under load and help prevent sag. When the rear of the vehicle is not under load, it will not affect the suspension at all so you won't have a harsh ride. These are the correct helper springs for the rear suspension, I've confirmed this with SuperSprings for you.
