  • Recommended Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock To Minimize Movement And Noise.
  • To reduce rattle and noise in your hitch cover, I recommend using an anti-rattle hitch pin like the Let's Go Aero Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2" Hitches - 2-5/8" Span, # 63232. The foam silencers will wear down and still leave you with vibration noise. The anti-rattle hitch pin will secure the side of the cover to your hitch and eliminate the movement. I recommend using the Foam Gasket for AMG Hitch Covers # AMG-FM and the anti rattle pin with lock # 63232 to eliminate...

  • Recommended Anti-Rattle Device For 14 Long Hitch Extender For 2 Receivers HE12
  • The Hitch Extender For 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver 14" Long # HE12 does not have a built in anti-rattle feature, but you can use the etrailer Anti-Rattle Hitch Stabilizer for 2" Hitches - Vinyl Coated Steel # e99007 to keep the extender from rattling in your trailer hitch receiver, and the anti-rattle pin on your Kuat Bike rack to keep the bike rack from rattling in the extender.

  • Locking Hitch Pin and Anti-Rattle Device for a Solid Shank 2 Inch Hitch Accessory on 2016 Outlander
  • There isn't an anti-rattle locking hitch pin that works with a solid ball mount or other hitch accessory. You can use a regular hitch lock and then an anti-rattle device separately. For a lock for a 2 inch Class III trailer hitch you can use # e98880. For an anti-rattle device you can use # RM-061 which reduces movement vertically. Or you could use # BX88224 which reduces movement vertically and horizontally. I have linked videos of both devices for you.

  • Anti Rattle Option For A 2" Hitch With A 1-1/4" Adapter
  • We do have a potential option for you, but the threaded block assembly # SHP2061 that you mentioned is not going to work for this purpose. If you are in need of an anti rattle device for this setup we recommend taking a look at the Malone Anti-Rattle HitchLock System # MPG908. This is a u-bolt style anti rattle device that is made to work with both 1-1/4" and 2" hitches. It will help to stabilize your bike rack in the hitch an eliminate any unwanted movement.

  • Hitch Lock & Anti-Rattle For Roadmaster Dual Hitch Adapter RM-077-4
  • There is a hitch lock as well as an anti-rattle device available for your Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter # RM-077-4 but because it has a solid shank, there isn't an anti-rattle hitch lock, as solid shanks prevent the use of an anti-rattle lock. So you will need to get the lock and anti-rattle separately, and this will serve the same function of locking the adapter and preventing rattle; what you will need is the following: - etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # e98880 - Roadmaster...

  • Anti-Rattle Device Recommendation for a 1-1/4 inch Hitch
  • The # HE6033 is an anti-rattle device/locking hitch pin when used on a Bike Rack like part # HE2110. It can be used with a ball mount or other hitch accessory, but it won't function as an anti-rattle device as it would just slide through the ball mount. The accessory would have to be threaded and match the threads of the bolt for it to work as an anti-rattle device. You would need a product like the # RM-061-125 as well for an anti-rattle device if that is what you are looking for.

  • Recommended Anti-Rattle Device and Lock For EcoHitch Front Receiver # 306-X7352
  • I recommend using the Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # 63232 with the EcoHitch Hidden Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7352. This anti-rattle will fit your hollow shank ball mounts and accessories. If you have a solid shank accessory that is not already threaded for a specific lock bolt you will need a separate Lock # e98882 and Anti-Rattle # RM-061.

  • Anti-Rattle Device for Factory Hitch on 2017 Toyota Highlander
  • There are anti-rattle devices which could work with the factory hitch on your 2017 Toyota Highlander, though because it is covered you will need a pin-style and not a sleeve style such as the Malone MPG908 you referred to. The Anti-Rattle Receiver Lock # 63232 fits a 2" receiver, has a 2-5/8" pin length and is for use with ball mounts that have a hollow shank. If your receiver has a length longer than 2-5/8" like some 2" Toyota factory hitches do you'll want to use the XL Anti-Rattle...

  • Anti-Rattle Hitch Stabilizer For an E-Bike Rack on a 2022 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter
  • To help stabilize/reduce rattle with your e-bike rack on your 2022 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, I recommend the etrailer Anti-Rattle Hitch Stabilizer # e99007. The etrailer Anti-Rattle Hitch Stabilizer # e99007 will help reduce movement, side-to-side and up-and-down. It also has a steel construction with a vinyl coating, so it is heavy duty like you are wanting. I have included a review video that demonstrates how well this anti-rattle, hitch stabilizer works.

  • Recommended Locking Hitch Pin and Anti-Rattle for Solid Shank Hitch Extension
  • The Blue Ox Hitch Extender for Tow Bars - 2" Hitches - 12" Extension # BX88264 has a solid shank at the trailer hitch receiver end that is not threaded, so you would need to use a hitch pin lock like # e98880 on that end and then for an anti-rattle you will need an external device like # BX88224 for the best stabilization or # RM-061 for a more economical option. The opposite end with the receiver opening can use the Thule Snug Tite Hitch Lock and Anti-Rattle Device # THSTL2 if you are...

  • Keyed Alike Locking Hitch Pins With Anti-Rattle
  • The SoftRide # SR25219 locking and anti-rattle hitch pin is not available keyed alike. The next best thing is the etrailer # e98882 stainless steel locking hitch receiver lock which can be keyed alike on the order page in any quantity you need. To resolve the anti-rattle issue you can use the Malone # MPG908 Anti-Rattle System.

  • Recommended Anti-Rattle Device for Towing Boat Trailer
  • While we do have anti-rattle devices that are designed for use when towing, the MaxxTow Anti-Rattle Clamp, as you mentioned, cannot be used for this purpose. This particular device can only be used for non-trailer loads such as bike racks and cargo carriers. For an anti-rattle device that you can use while towing your boat trailer, I recommend the Roadmaster Quiet Hitch # RM-061. This hitch immobilizer will eliminate rattle within the receiver with a simple bolt-on installation. You will...

  • Anti-Rattle Device for Use with Bike Rack on 2012 Kia Sorento with 2-Inch Hitch
  • To stabilize your hitch-mount bike rack in the 2-inch hitch receiver tube on your Sorento you can use one of the anti-rattle devices shown on the linked page. Please note that some bike racks use a proprietary type of anti-rattle hitch bolt/lock that requires replacement with an identical part, but we also offer universal-fit anti-rattle devices like the Roadmaster # RM-061 and the Blue Ox # BX88224 which stabilizes the rack's shank in both vertical and horizontal planes.

  • Anti-Rattle Recommendation For Trailer Hitch Receiver
  • There are a couple of good anti-rattle options for you, but definitely do not drill a hole into the receiver as it can compromise it. So what you can do is either add a clamp-on style stabilizer, or an anti-rattle hitch pin lock, depending on the style you prefer: - etrailer Anti-Rattle Hitch Stabilizer for 2" Hitches # e99007 - Stainless Steel Locking, Anti-Rattle Threaded Hitch Pin for 2" Trailer Hitches # SR25219 I like the hitch pin because it gives you the benefit of a lock as well,...

  • Anti-Rattle for TowSmart Towing Starter Kit for 2 Inch Hitches
  • The TowSmart kit is not going to have additional rattle due to it's shape, but without an anti-rattle device, all ball mounts are going to be subject to some movement and noise. Due to that, I do recommend adding an accessory to limit the rattling of the TowSmart Towing Starter Kit for 2" Hitches # TS64FR. The perfect option for this is the etrailer Anti-Rattle Hitch Stabilizer for 2" Hitches # e99007. It's a simple clamp-on device that tightens the shank in your hitch to minimize any...
