Expert Answers about Chevrolet Hitch Anti-Rattle


  • Anti-Rattle, locking, Stabilization Pin that will not Rust
  • I have just what you need, a stainless steel locking anti-rattle hitch pin for you. I suggest the Stainless Steel Locking, Anti-Rattle Threaded Hitch Pin for 2" Trailer Hitches part # SR25219. You will need a hollow shank for this to work. For a solid shank, you will want the Andersen Trailer Hitch Lock part # AM3493 for the lock in addition to our Brophy Stabilizer Bracket part # RHSB for anti-rattle.

  • What Material is The Roadmaster Quiet Hitch Made Of?
  • The Roadmaster Quiet Hitch for 2" Trailer Hitches # RM-061 is made of steel and has a zinc plating for corrosion resistance. It is designed to work with ball mounts, tow bars, and hitch mounted accessories as an anti-rattle device. The Malone Anti-Rattle HitchLock System MPG908 worked in a similar way but has been discontinued. The Roadmaster seems to be the customer favorite of all the brands.

  • What is the Anti-Rattle Device and Lock, # 63232 Made of and What is the Capacity
  • The Anti-Rattle Device and Lock, # 63232, is made of chrome plated steel. It does not have an official capacity because it has a higher breaking point than a hitch or ball mount that would be used with it. I have included a link to a video showing how the lock works.

  • Purpose of Smaller Holes in Draw-Tite Hitch Receivers Between Opening and Hitch Pin Hole
  • The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75607 has the smaller holes between the receiver tube end and the hitch pin hole. The smaller hole is no longer used. This is a locking hitch pin and anti-rattle device that Draw-Tite has the integrated holes to utilize. I've attached a couple of videos to assist. It is a really nice option for ball mounts and other accessories that do not have an integrated locking/anti-rattle system to stabilize and reduce noise.

  • Thule T2 Pro Platform Bike Rack Weather Resistance and Compatibility
  • The Thule T2 Pro XTR 2 Bike Platform Rack # TH23JV is a great bike rack option. It's made with a powder coat, so it will resist rust and will be a great choice for your West Coast weather. This rack is compatible with wheels from 20 inches to 29 inches. Most 15 inch frames have 24 inch wheels so you shouldn't have a problem, but you will want to measure the tire diameter to make sure.

  • Are the Blue Ox Immobilizer U-Bolts Made of Stainless Steel
  • I spoke with my contact at Blue Ox about the Immobilizer III # BX88312 and Immobilizer II # BX88224 anti-rattle devices. She confirmed that the U-bolts used with the Immobilizers are grade 5 steel, but they are not stainless steel. The nuts that are included with the Immobilizer are hex whiz lock nuts. The U-bolts are not designed to be long enough to add an additional nut to the bolt to lock the first nut. Since the nuts included are lock nuts, you would only need to use the included...

  • Can Self-Locking, Adjustable, Aluminum Ball Mount, # DTALBM6800 withstand Indiana Winters
  • I would always recommend storing a ball mount of any type and in any geographic location because I personally hate bumping by shins or knees on them! I have also seen some get corroded and stuck in the hitch receiver so that is another reason to take it out when not in use. The outer parts of the Self-Locking, Adjustable, Aluminum Ball Mount, # DTALBM6800, will withstand those harsh Indiana winters, salt brine, debris, and all. The unit is made of aluminum so it is strong and corrosion...
