The threads on Thule bike racks are unique to their hitch pin design so the only hitch pins that will work with Thule bike racks are the Thule brand.

The correct anti-rattle hitch pin lock for your Thule bike rack will be the Thule Snug Tite Hitch Lock and Anti-Rattle Device, item # THSTL2. There is not an inexpensive alternative for these bike racks.

The Thule Snug Tite Hitch Lock fits the following bike racks, TH956, TH957, TH964, TH954, TH914, TH912, TH915, TH916, TH917 and TH958 among others.
