For your Swagman XTC-2 2-Bike Platform Rack, # S64670, the rack comes with a threaded hitch pin that should keep the rack secure and limit the movement of the shank within the receiver. I've linked a video that shows this pin at the 1:40 mark. If you need to replace this pin, your best option would be the 1/2 inch Locking Anti-Wobble, Threaded Hitch Pin, # S64029.

If you choose to, you can use an additional anti-sway accessory. There are limited fits for a bike rack, but I have a couple options for you.

If you have a 2 inch receiver, the Blue Ox Hitch Receiver Immobilizer II, # BX88224, will tighten up the connection and keep your bike rack from rattling and shifting while you are on the road. It is a quick install that includes brackets, U-bolts, and nuts. This will assist with limiting both vertical and horizontal movement.

If you have a 1-1/4 receiver, the Roadmaster Quiet Hitch for 1-1/4" Trailer Hitches
Item # RM-061-125, will be a great option.

Class I and Class II hitches both have a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. The difference is that a Class I hitch has a lower tongue weight rating, usually 200 pounds and a lower towing rating, usually 2,000 pounds. A Class II hitch usually has a tongue…
