  • Upgraded Anti-Rattle Device for Allen Sports 532 RR Hitch Mount Bike Rack
  • Thank you for the photo of your Allen Sports 532 RR Bike Rack! Most of the time there are specific bolts that fit bike racks, but according to my research it looks like your Allen 532 RR has a hollow shank so you can use the Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # 63232 to not only get rid of the wobble, but to also lock the rack to your vehicle. This comes with a metal block you insert inside the shank of the rack and then the threaded bolt snugs the block, as well as your bike rack...

  • Will EcoHitch Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver 306-X7261 Fit 2011 Subaru Impreza W/ Single Exhaust?
  • I may have another option for you, but the EcoHitch Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # 306-X7261 you were looking at will only fit the 2008-2011 Subaru Impreza 5-door Wagon with the Quad Exhaust and will not work on your Impreza as your vehicle only has the single exhaust. The only trailer hitch receivers available for the single exhaust models will be visible and do not have a removeable receiver like the # 306-X7261. Of the available options I recommend the Draw-Tite...

  • Hitch & Bike Rack Options For 2017 Subaru Impreza
  • I recommend getting the 2 inch hitch receiver # 306-X7350 for your 2017 Subaru Impreza. If you have dual exhaust then you'll have to go with a 1-1/4 inch hitch # 24960. If you go with the 2 inch hitch, I really like the Kuat Transfer V2 # KU24FR. It can hold 3 bikes and is good for almost any bike you throw at it as long as it's under 40 lbs. If you have to go with the 1-1/4 inch hitch, you should get the Swagman Trailhead 3. It's a great entry level bike rack and will get the job done....

  • Recommended Bike Rack for Carrying Sun EZ-1 SX Recumbent Bike on a 2008 Subaru Impreza
  • Although the Swagman Trailhead you referenced is one of the bike racks I recommend most, it wouldn't work well for a recumbent bike like your Sun EZ-1 SX. In fact our racks that are designed for recumbent bikes like the # SA4412B-R and the # S64650-EXT, will only accommodate bikes with weights up to 35 pounds on a class I hitch like those available for your Imprezza. My research shows that your Sun EZ-1 SX weighs more than 35 pounds, so these will not work for you. Instead of a bike rack,...

  • Recommendation For Trunk Bike Rack to Fit 2012 Subaru Impreza 5-Door and 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  • One of the best trunk bike racks that will fit both the 2012 Subaru Impreza Sport 5-door and the 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee is the Thule GateWay 2 Bike Rack, part # TH45JV. Thule also has a a 3 bike rack that would work, the Passage, part # TH911XT. These will work as long as you do not have a spoiler on your Impreza. A trunk bike rack will not work on your Subaru Impreza Sport 5-door if it has a spoiler. The Thule OutWay is one of our most popular selling trunk bike racks. The Raceway...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2019 Subaru Impreza for Carrying Thule T2 Pro Bike Rack
  • For your 2019 Subaru Impreza we have two 2-inch hitches available for your 2019 Subaru Impreza which will work great with your Thule T2 Pro # TH83JV. There's the mostly hidden EcoHitch part # 306-X7350 which I recommend highly or there's the Draw Tite # 76209 that costs less, isn't nearly as hidden, but does have a slightly easier install. Either would work well but I think long term you'd be happier with the EcoHitch since it's more hidden.

  • Safety Cables to Use with Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain Tow Bar
  • A lot of people really like the coiled safety cables like the Roadmaster part # RM-643 since they are really easy to keep from dragging since the coils take up the extra slack and you can easily wrap them around the arms of the tow bar. These would work great with your Falcon All Terrain part # RM-522 and have the same weight capacity of 6,000 b as well.

  • Is Thule TH903202 EasyFold Bike Rack Compatible With Class I Hitch on 2018 Subaru Impreza Sedan
  • You sure can. The Thule # TH903202 EasyFold XT bike rack is compatible with a Class I hitch which uses a 1-1/4 inch hitch receiver. A class I hitch like the Curt # C11466 will have a 200 lb tongue weight capacity, which means that the 45 lb weight of the rack and the combined weight of the bikes needs to come in under 200 lbs. The bike rack has a 65 lb per bike capacity, so at worst the combined weight would be 175 which comes in nicely under the 200 lb capacity of the hitch. The EcoHitch...

  • Could Kat's Heater Handi Heat Have More than One Wired to Switch
  • The Kat's heater part # KH1190 that you referenced doesn't have a direct way to wire to a switch for multiple heaters but if you ran more than one to a power strip that would be one way accomplish that. These will still function in -60 degrees as well.

  • Are Extended Exhaust Hangers Needed to Install a Trailer Hitch on a 2005 Subaru Impreza
  • You should not have to replace any of the exhaust hangers on your 2005 Subaru Impreza to install Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # C11497. But if you feel that you need to you will need to wait and see how much space there is, or isn't, available to get the right length hangers. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you to view. If you plan on doing some towing you will need ball mount # 3593. For a 1-7/8 inch ball use # 19256 and for a...

  • Does the Exhaust Need to be Lowered to Install a Curt Hitchon a 2012 Subaru Impreza
  • The exhaust only needs to come down a little bit to install this # C11120 on your 2012 Subaru Impreza. An easy way to support the exhaust once you remove the fifth exhaust hanger would be to use a tie-down like our Snap-Loc Tie Down part # EM51324 to secure the exhaust to a part of the vehicle before you lower it so that the strap will hold the weight of the exhaust while it is off the hangers. You can adjust the cam buckle to raise or lower the exhaust once it is supporting the weight...

  • Can Thule Hullavator 897XT Fit on Malone Airflow Crossbars of 2019 Subaru Impreza
  • The Malone Airflow 2 roof rack part number # MPG216 and would not need an adapter. While this carrier was replaced with the # TH898 which is a little more universal in what it can fit your version would still be able to fit around the Malone crossbars. Hopefully you have the longer 58 inch Malone rack part number that I mentioned as that will make using the Hullavator a bit easier.

  • Thule TH45JV OutWay Rear-Mount Bike Rack for 2006 Subaru Impreza Outback
  • According to Thule, the OutWay Trunk Mount 2 Bike Rack, part # TH45JV will fit the 2006 Subaru Impreza Outback 4 door sedan. To carry women's bikes or bikes with sharply angled top tubes or step-through frames, using a frame adapter like part # 64005 is recommended. The adapter spans the distance between the seat post and the handle bar gooseneck, and provides a level attachment point to the bike rack so the bike has greater ground clearance and is not carried at an angle.

  • Trailer Hitch for 2012 Subaru Impreza non-WRX Model
  • If your Impreza is a Hatchback model with single exhaust, the Curt Class I receiver, # C11286 would be a fit. If your Impreza is a Sedan, you would use the Curt # C11408. If you will use this hitch for a bike rack or cargo carrier, you will also need a stabilizing strap like part # 18050, which must be used to satisfy Curt warranty requirements. If you were planning on using the hitch for light-duty towing, you might be interested in the following: A ball mount Trailer Wiring Harness...

  • Will Curt Basket Fit the Factory Roof Rack on a 2009 Subaru Outback Sport Impreza
  • You will need to take some measurements of the factory bars on your 2008 Subaru Outback Sport Impreza to determine if the Curt basket # C18115 will fit. The Curt basket will fit on cross bars no wider than 3 inches and the center to center distance between the bars must be 15 inches or more. Measure your bars to determine if these dimensions are compatible. I have included a link to the instructions for the basket for you.

  • Thule Roof Rack For 2017 Subaru Impreza 5 Door With Raised Rails
  • I reached out to my contact at Thule and they confirmed that the roof rack you will need for your 2017 Subaru Impreza 5 door with raised rails will consist of the Evo Raised Rail Feet # TH710401 and the 53 inch load bars # TH711420. These new WingBar aero bars replaced the AeroBlade and I've attached a video to show you some features of these new crossbars. I also recommend using the Thule locks # TH450400 with this rack to secure your system and deter theft.

  • The correct EcoHitch Trailer Hitch Receiver for a 2012 Subaru Impreza Hatchback is part # 306-X7211 just be sure you have the center knock-out panel in the rear bumper fascia. The hatchback and wagon are the same for all intents and purposes regarding trailer hitch application.

If you are looking to tow a trailer then you will also need a trailer wiring harness and ball mount/hitch...

  • Fascia Trimming Required to Install EcoHitch Trailer Hitch in 2019 Subaru Impreza Hatchback
  • There is a bit of fascia trimming needed on your 2019 Subaru Impreza hatchback to install the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7350. If you check out the accompanying cut out you can see that it requires a 2-1/2" square to be cut. This will allow your '19 Impreza to have a hitch that his hidden except for the receiver; I have added a photo a customer sent in of your 2019 Impreza with this hitch installed so you can see how it will look on yours.
