Expert Answers about GMC Hitch Anti-Rattle


  • Anti-Rattle Options for Curt # C18153 Hitch Mounted Cargo Carrier
  • The Curt # C18153 doesn't have a threaded insert for an anti-rattle hitch bolt, but that does not mean that there aren't anti-rattle options available. For a locking hitch pin with an integrated anti-rattle feature, I'd recommend the # 63232. Another option would be a locking hitch pin like part # e98882 and a separate anti-rattle device like # RM-061. Both options are pretty effective, but I'd lean toward the # 63232 because it's going to be easier to install and remove. I've linked...

  • Locking Anti-Rattle Hitch Pin For Curt 4-Bike Rack C18087
  • The Curt 4 Bike Platform Rack - 2" Hitches # C18087 comes with an anti-rattle hitch pin that does not lock, however, you can add Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches # SR0901 to lock the bike rack to the hitch receiver. This has been tested and confirmed to fit with this Curt bike rack. I attached a couple demonstration videos for you.

  • Is The Curt RockerBall Anti-Rattle Towing Kit # C43KR Available With a 2-5/16" Hitch Ball?
  • For this you will need the Curt Ball Mount # C45070, Curt Anti-Rattle Kit # C69HR and the Curt RockerBall Shock Absorbing 2-5/16" Hitch Ball # C82KR. The ball mount and anti-rattle kit are the same ones that are included with the Curt RockerBall Anti-Rattle Towing Kit # C43KR.

  • Curt # C13410 vs Draw-Tite # 76227 for 2017 Subaru Outback Wagon
  • The J-pin style of anti rattle device that can be used with the Draw Tite hitch part # 76227 is the part # 63201 and is not normally used with bike racks as they normally have anti-rattle devices built into the racks. The bike rack would have to have a hollow shank for the # 63201 to be compatible but if the rack did have a hollow shank and you really did want the Curt hitch # C13410 you could use the anti rattle # 63232 with this hitch (or the Draw Tite) and you'd accomplish the same thing....

  • Anti-Rattle Device for Use with Pro Series Adjustable 2-Inch 3-Ball Mount 63070
  • I see that you referenced the Pro Series Adjustable 2-Inch 3-Ball Mount # 63070 which has a solid shank. Accessories with a solid shank like this can't use the anti-rattle items like # 63232 which require a hollow shank, but you can still use an Anti-Rattle like Roadmaster # RM-061 or the Blue Ox # BX88224 to secure the shank of ball mount and then simply remove the ball platform part when it is not needed. Both the Roadmaster Quiet Hitch # RM-061 and the Blue Ox Hitch Receiver Immobilizer...

  • Availability of Lock for Curt Trailer Hitch Anti-Rattle Kit # F-315
  • An add-on lock is not available for the Curt Trailer Hitch Anti-Rattle Kit # F-315 but we do offer locking hitch pin devices for 1-1/4" accessories such as #e98879 that work with any hollow-shank ball mount or accessory. However, the # e98879 is not an anti-rattle device, only a hitch lock.

  • Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock & Hitch Cover for Reese 2-Inch Trailer Hitch Receiver
  • The diameter hitch pin for a 2-inch hitch is 5/8-inch, very close to your 9/16-inch dimension. In this size we offer a plain pin/clip # PC3, locks such as # BD580412 and anti-rattle locks such as # 63232. This anti-rattle lock works in any hollow-shank ball mount or accessory carrier to both steady it and help protect it from theft. I linked our main pages for 2-inch hitch covers, including plain rubber covers like # 22282 and # I-728 as well as themed covers.

  • Anti-Rattle Devices Suitable for Towing with 2-Inch Hitch Receiver
  • We offer many types of hitch stabilizers, immobilizers and anti-rattle devices. Examples include the Pro Series Anti-Rattle Device for 2" x 2" Trailer Hitch Receivers # PS63091 and the Blue Ox Immobilizer # BX88224 which works on 2-inch hitches and that stabilizes your ball mount in both vertical and horizontal planes. I prefer the Pro Series # PS63091. The Jam nut on this product keeps it secure over time. This is my recommended choice. Check out the video demo of this product. All...

  • Anti-Rattle Lock for Use with Cargo Basket on Ford F-350
  • Some hitches do have a collar around their receiver tube opening to provide reinforcement. In such cases a longer hitch lock is needed. Part # SHP2040-XL is a 5/8-inch diameter hitch pin that will fit a 2-1/2-inch hitch and provide both anti-rattle and locking functions. Another option is part # SHP2082 which fits all hitch sizes, including 2- and 2-1/2-inch. These devices work with accessories that have a hollow shank.

  • Does Curt 4-Bike Rack Have Locking Anti-Rattle Hitch Pin?
  • There are high-quality 4-bike platform racks available which do have locking anti-rattle hitch pins, but the Curt # C18087 does not; it has an anti-rattle hitch pin though it is not locking. A 4-bike rack that is similar in price to the Curt that actually comes with a keyed-alike hitch lock and cable lock is the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE # HR1400Z. This bike rack uses padded hooks to grasp your bikes by the top tubes and adjustable wheel mounts with straps to secure your rear wheels....

  • Availability Of An Anti-Rattle Device for Use With A 1-1/4 Inch To 2 Inch Hitch Expander
  • I would recommend the CURT Trailer Hitch Anti-Rattle Kit # F-315. This anti-rattle bracket works on a 1-1/4 inch hitch and when tightened down helps to eliminate the noise and vibration of a hitch accessory inside the trailer hitch. I do not have a hitch expander that has a hollow shank that will fit in a 1-1/4 inch hitch. Also, remember when using a hitch expander it will reduce your trailer hitch tongue weight capacity by 50 percent.

  • Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock For 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver
  • We do have some alternatives as we discontinued carrying the J-Pin when Draw-Tite discontinued the additional hole for the J-pin last year. The Stainless Steel Locking, Anti-Rattle Threaded Hitch Pin for 2" Trailer Hitches # SR25219 can be used with hollow shank 2" hitches. For solid shanks you can use a etrailer Hitch Receiver Lock # e98881 with a Draw-Tite QSP Trailer Hitch Silencer and Cover for 2" Hitch Receivers # 63080

  • How to Stop Movement with HE06 Hitch Extender
  • We have just what you need. To get rid of the rattle/movement in a hitch extender like the part # HE06 all you would need is an anti-rattle device like the part # 63232. This slides into the hollow shank of the hitch extender and then allows the threaded bolt to tighten it against the hitch tube. I attached a review video for more info for you to check out.

  • Anti-Rattle Device Recommendation for Saris Bike Rack for 1-1/4 inch Trailer Hitch
  • For the Saris bike racks that are designed to fit 1-1/4 inch hitches the correct anti-rattle device is the part # SA3015. I attached an install video for this for you to check out as well.

  • Lock and Anti-Rattle Device That Can be Used with Solid Shank
  • While you can both lock your accessory or ball mount as well as use an anti-rattle device, there isn't an option for a single device that will do both. For a solid shank what I recommend is using a simple hitch receiver lock, the etrailer.com Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # e98880 with the Gen-Y Anti-Rattle Clamp # GY88XR, both of which are for 2" trailer hitches. These are also available if you have a 1-1/4" hitch (Lock # e98879, Clamp # RM-061-125).

  • Solutions for replacing the anti-rattle bolt on Rola Dart cargo carrier
  • I have a few solutions for you, however, the discontinued Rola Dart cargo carrier used a specific threaded hitch bolt which is not available anymore. In the past, Rola confirmed with me that the threading can either be 7/16"-14 or 5/8"-11, so you could try to match up a bolt at a local hardware store to replace the original bolt. Another solution would be to drill out / remove the nut inside the Rola's shank and then use the universal Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2" Hitches...

  • 2-Inch Hitch Locks Available Keyed Alike
  • Universal hitch locks like the Lets Go Aero Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # 63232 and the other similar lock shown on the linked page are not offered keyed-alike. We do offer 2-inch hitch locks that can be ordered keyed alike but these are not anti-rattle types. These are shown on the other link. For example, etrailer # e98880 fits 2-inch hitches and can be ordered keyed-alike in any quantity you need. So too can their stainless steel lock # e98882. Simply select the Keyed Alike...

  • Availability of Locking Anti-Rattle Diversi-Tech Adjustable Ballmount
  • Due to the fact that the shank that slides into the receiver prevents the ball from being raised (with ballmount in drop position) or lowered (in rise position) far enough for the ball to have a zero rise or drop. This honestly isn't a problem. As long as you can get the trailer within an inch or two of level, it's considered close enough. You are correct. It's not possible to get a Diversi-Tech locking anti-rattle ballmount because the anti-rattle feature sits right where the locking...

  • Anti-rattle Devices for Use With 1-1/4-Inch to 2-Inch Hitch Adapter on Curt Hitch # C11681
  • Thank you for your recent purchase from etrailer.com. All of the hitches offered for your 2014 Honda Accord, including the Curt # C11681 you chose, are light-duty Class I types that have a maximum bike carrying capacity of 2 bikes - even if the carrier itself can hold 3. You might care to refer to the linked article on hitch classes. A further complication in your situation is that use of a hitch adapter - any adapter or extender - will have the unavoidable side-effect of reducing the...

  • Need 2-Inch Hitch Extender With Hollow Shank for Use with # 63232 Anti-Rattle Receiver Lock
  • We do offer several 2-inch hitch extenders that have a hollow shank to allow use of an anti-rattle hitch lock such as the Lets Go Aero # 63232. These are available in various lengths. Do please note that whenever any extender is used it will reduce your hitch capacity by 50 percent. For example, we offer the Brophy 7-Inch Extender for 2-inch hitch receivers, part # HE06. We also offer an 18-inch extender from Hidden Hitch, part # HE18. If you need a dual receiver extension we offer...
