Does Hollywood Trailer Rider Bike Rack on 2015 Honda CR-V Need Additional Stabilization

Question:

Anti-rattle for 2015 Honda CRV, Curt hitch, Hollywood rack HR200Z. Hitch from Uhaul, but is Curt 2 inch class 3. I havent taken this on the road yet, but Ive test installed the rack and anti-rattle bolt, and I understand that takes the horizontal sway out, but there is still plenty of vertical movement prior to bike mount. I have the Curt strap, but Im wondering if I should use the RM-061 as well ? 2 bikes only.

If you have the Curt Trailer Hitch # C13119 on your 2015 CR-V and are using the anti-rattle bolt of your Hollywood Racks Trail Rider 2 Bike Platform Rack # HR200Z as well as the Curt Cam Buckle Stabilizing Strap # 18050, additional stabilization will not be needed.

Since you already have a pair of stabilization devices I recommend first taking your bike rack - with bikes loaded - out on the road for a test with the anti-rattle bolt engaged and stabilizing strap on to see how it works and will undoubtedly have a very stable ride.
