Distance from Center of Pin Hole to Tab Stop in a Class I Trailer Hitch for a 2008 Saturn Astra
Question:
What is the distance between the tab stop and the bolt hole on this hitch? I would like to confirm if my bike rack is a class 1 accessory but cant find any documentation showing what it is. The rack is 2inch between the end of the tube and the center of the bolt.

Expert Reply:
You must have a Class II bike rack because when I measured the distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the tab stop on a Class I Draw-Tite hitch it was 1-13/16 inches. You could instead use Curt hitch # C11112 for your 2008 Saturn Astra. But if you went that route then Curt requires the use of stabilization strap # 18050 when using this hitch for a bike rack per their warranty requirements.
The other option is a Class I compatible bike rack such as the Swagman XC, # S64650, with the Draw-Tite hitch # 24809.
