Recommended Replacement Bolt and Hitch Pin for 2 Inch Yakima Hold Up Shank

Question

Question:

Our old vehicle had an 1 1/4 hitch. Our new car has a 2inch receiver. We purchased the 2inch replacement tongue from your company. When my husband installed the new tongue he noticed that the bike rack is very wobbly and he had a difficult time tightening the hitch bolt. Should we have also replaced the bolt. He says it seems too short and the diameter of the bolt is too small. Thanks for any help you can provide. Bolt and hitch pin for 2 Yakima Hold Up receiver

The Yakima Holdup Bike Racks regardless of generation all use the Hitch Bolt part #Y8890200. It's possible you stripped the nut so in which case you would just need the Replacement Nut Retainer and Nut part #Y90254.
