The Yakima adapter, # Y8890174, is designed to fit certain Yakima bike racks, and probably will not be compatible with your Thule rack.

If you can get me a model number for the bike rack, I can contact Thule to see if they have anything that will work. If not, there are hitch reducer sleeves, part # HT02, that you can use that should not rattle any more than using the bike rack in a 1-1/4 inch hitch.
