Which Locking Anti-Rattle Device for Caropd Cargo Carrier

Question:

I have a 2018 Subaru Forester Touring 2.5i. I have purchased a hitch and carpod from etrailer and upon watching the installation video for the carpod, an anti rattle locking pin was suggested. The hitch I ordered is Item # e98839. What anti rattle device is recommended?

I'd be happy to help you with that. I'd recommend using a combination locking hitch pin/anti-rattle device like part
# 63232 from Let's Go Aero. The square block and spring fit into the hollow shank of your # M2205-01-02 Carpod carrier, with the hole lined up with the hitch pin hole. The pin is installed and screwed into place which draws the block up against the inside of the tube essentially bolting the carrier in place. Then, the locking piece is installed which prevents the bolt from being loosened. If you click the provided link, you can see how the locking anti-rattle hitch pin works.
