Anti-Rattle Device for a Toyota Prius Towing a Bike Rack with a 1-1/4 Hitch
Question:
How can I stop the movement between my hitch and bike rack. It is shaking way to much that it is noicy and not stable.

We have two anti-rattle alternatives that are compatible with a 1-1/4 inch receiver. The CURT Trailer Hitch Anti-Rattle Kit, part # F-315 works very well. The block with nut is placed inside the ball mount (or hitch accessory) and drawn to the side of the hitch tube when the pin is tightened. This pushes the ball mount or hitch accessory up against the side of the hitch tube, dramatically reducing movement and vibration.
Also take a look at the Pro Series Anti-Rattle Device for 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" Trailer Hitch Receivers # 63090. It inserts between the receiver and your accessory, and tightens down with included bolt and jam nut to stop the rattle. I have attached a video review.
