Anti-Rattle Locking Hitch Pin For SportRack Bike Rack With Threaded Shank

Question:

Hello, I have a SportRack bicycle rack for a 2inch receiver, that being said I know that SportRack was bought by Thule in 2006 so my question is. Do you know if this lock will thread into my carrier being its not a Thule? Thank you,

The SilentAct Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock part # SHP2083 is designed for Thule Bike Racks but I do not believe the threading is the same for the SportRack threaded shanks. I recommend to use the Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock for SportRack Bike Racks and Cargo Carriers part # SR0901 which is also an anti-rattle lock that will eliminate some of the bike sway and bouncing that you may experience.

You can also use the Roadmaster Quiet Hitch part # RM-061 which does a great job at tightening up the connection point between the shank and the hitch receiver to prevent rattling as well. As long as you have a collar on the hitch receiver the Roadmaster Quiet hitch will install and work well along with the anti-rattle hitch lock.
