The Draw-Tite Ball Mount, # 3594, is the recommended ball mount that will safely work on your Class I hitch. You will also need the hitch ball for the ball mount.

  • Will The Blue Ox Acclaim Work A Blue Ox Baseplate On A 201 Chevy HHR
  • The only compatible Blue Ox baseplate for a 2011 Chevy HHR is the # BX1692, which has a bracket spacing of 22". The Blue Ox Acclaim Non-Binding Tow Bar # BX4330 requires a spacing of 23" - 30" so it will not be compatible with the baseplate. The next closest option in price and functionality is the etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar for Blue Ox Base Plates # e47ZR. This tow bar is a bit more than the # BX4330, but comes with quite a bit more features to make up for the higher price point....

  • Trailer Hitch for a 2009 Chevy HHR SS to Use with Kuat Transfer Bike Rack
  • I checked with Curt and trailer hitch # C11447 will fit your 2009 Chevy HHR SS model! You mentioned that you want to use the hitch for a bike rack. If you choose the Curt hitch then Curt also says you have to use stabilization strap # 18050 when using this hitch for any non-trailer load (such as a bike rack or cargo carrier) per their warranty requirements. If you don't want to have to use the strap then I recommend the Draw-Tite hitch, # 24756, because it does not require the use of the...

  • Does the Stabilizer Strap for a Curt Hitch on a 2011 HHR Need to be Used for a Single-Bike Bike Rack
  • If you are wanting to install the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11447 on your 2011 Chevrolet HHR then a stabilizer strap like part # 18050 would need to be used according to Curt's warranty. The warranty simply says any non-trailer load so even a single bike rack would fall under that. With that being said, where you attach the strap doesn't matter at all. You could actually just loop it over the crossbeam of the RockyMounts HighNoon FC Solo Bike Rack # RKY87RR and then back to your vehicle...

  • Anti-Sway and Stabilization for 1997 Thor Residency Coach
  • Your 1997 Thor Residency chassis is the F-53. The F-450 chassis is found on the Class C Motorhomes but the coaches are the F-53 chassis even with the smaller wheels tucked further under as you stated.

  • How To Confirm Wheel Bolt Pattern for 215/75-14 Tire and Wheel
  • The Karrier ST215/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire with 14" White Wheel part # AM32181 is a great option and what I recommend for replacement. In order to confirm this is correct you'll need to verify the bolt pattern by measuring the lug studs. The lugs studs will need to be measured from the center of any stud to the point halfway between the studs directly across from the first or you can measure the two studs next to each other.
