Recommended Hitch Stabilizer for Hollywood Racks Bike Rack and Draw-Tite Hitch
Question:
I bought a Hollywood rack HR1460Z-E from you last year, and this year a Class III Draw-tite hitch for my Ford Explorer. I need a hitch tightener for these that will help eliminate some of the vertical wobble. Do you sell a hitch tightener for this?

Expert Reply:
I'm glad you're enjoying your Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE # HLY74FR and your Draw-Tite Hitch # 75083! While the bike rack came with an anti-rattle bolt # HRLHPT, it mainly takes out the side to side sway and I understand why some want to get another option for the up-an-down motion.
My best recommendation is the etrailer Anti-rattle Hitch Stabilizer # e99007. It very easy and simple to use. Just make sure the the bent portion of the plate goes on the shank of your bike rack. This plate design is actually better than the traditional basic U-bolt in case you have an adapter sleeve on your Hollywood Rack Bike rack # HLY74FR. You have a little more space with this plate to find the best fit on your bike rack's shank.
