  • Is There Torque Specs For the Nuts On The Dexter Single Axle Heavy Duty Suspension Kit K71-403-00
  • The Dexter Single Axle Heavy Duty Suspension Kit # K71-403-00 technically will not have a torque specification. However, I have been asked this before and was informed by Dexter that what you need to do is tighten them down to the point of either pinching the leaf spring or all the way to the shoulder of the bolts. If you start pinching the head of the leaf spring before hitting the shoulder, you will need to back the nut off a little to let the spring move, but not so loose that it can...

  • How Does the SportRack Vista XL Cargo Box Secure To Crossbar
  • The only way to use the install hardware for the SportRack Vista XL Cargo Box # SR7018 is with the plate mounting on the inside of the box and the u-bolt going around the crossbar, coming up through the box, and then getting secured with the wing nuts. Since there is a curve in the u-bolt it would put undue stress on the inside of the cargo box if it was mounted upside down and tightened. I attached a review video for this cargo box for you to check out as well.

  • In order to transport a girl's bike (or any bike with alternative style frames) to a hanging rack like the Malone Runway 4 Bike Rack # MAL72VR, you will just need a bike frame adapter bar.

  • Will Exhaust From 2021 Chevy Traverse Damage Yakima EXO Swing Away Enclosed Cargo Carrier
  • According to my research it looks like the receiver on your 2021 Chevy Traverse will sit a little above the exhaust (see attached photo of etrailer # e56YR on 2020 Traverse), and since the Yakima EXO Swing Away Enclosed Cargo Carrier # Y62VR has a 2" rise, it will be out of harms way with the exhaust. Attached are some videos for you to check out.

  • Installing Hopkins Agility Trailer Brake Controller # HM47294 in a 2010 Chevrolet Traverse
  • The Hopkins Agility Trailer Brake Controller # HM47294 that you referenced is a good cost-effective proportional brake controller. There are comparable units from Tekonsha, the brand we most often recommend, that offer easier set-up and operation, such as the Prodigy P2 # 90885. However, for occasional use the Hopkins may suit your needs well enough. If your Traverse has the factory tow package (with a 7-way trailer connector installed at the rear bumper) then you can use a quick connect...

  • You will notice in the instructions that I have linked for Curt Trailer Hitch, # 13424, that it states that the panel in question may be reinstalled on some models. So I spoke with my contact at Curt to determine if the 2011 Chevy Traverse was a model that it could be reinstalled on.

  • Brake Controller Installation on 2015 Chevy Traverse Using OEM Brake Controller Pigtail

  • Connecting Electric Trailer Brake Controller to 2020 Chevy Traverse
  • The 2020 Traverse without factory 7-way will require running the # 5506 wiring to connect to your 7-way unless those wires were already run when you added the 7-way. There won't be factory wires run for those functions.

It sounds like you found a 12v power, but you will want to make sure it has the circuit breaker, so I'd...

  • How to Determine the Return Line to a Transmission on a 2007 Toyota Sienna and 2012 Chevy Traverse
  • On the Toyota if it is rear wheel drive or you have the A55 or A55F transmission then the rear line is the return line.
