How is the Rattle and Stability When Using the Curt Clamp-On 3 Bike Rack

Question:

I am one of those people who cant stand rattles, squeaks or vibrations. How does this product ride with bikes loaded on it? Is there any movement/flexing front to rear oriented with the vehicle where it could bounce into the car or trailer or is it very rigid? Thank you for the help!

The Curt Clamp-On 3 bike rack, part # C18013, will allow you attach onto the shank of a 2-inch ball mount with at least 1-1/2 inches of space between the ball mount and the receiver. Rattle can occur because of the movement of the ball mount, but there are ways to combat it.

I recommend the Let's Go Aero anti-rattle hitch receiver lock # 63232 because it reduces any movement or vibration of your ball mount hitch. If you happen to flat tow your vehicle, then the Roadmaster Quiet Hitch # RM-061 is a solid option. It helps eliminate rattle and sway within your hitch receiver.

Because you are in transit I can't say it would be 100 percent quiet, but these options will certainly make a difference.

Take a look at the video reviews and helpful article I included.
