Using the Curt Cam Buckle Stabilizing Strap for Curt 2 Bike Platform Rack

Question:

In August I received my #C18085 Order #111931170. I have a 2 inch hitch, and am using the conversion piece that came with the rack. I really like the rack, and installed it with no problem including the Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock. However, the rack wobbles quite a bit. Enough that it makes me nervous when I see it in my rear view mirror. Is this normal? Is there something else I can do to reduce the wobble? Normal roads are bad enough, and on some of the dirt roads to trails it looks like I will lose my rack. Any help is appreciated, thank you in advance. 2020 Honda CRV

I suggest you add the Curt Cam Buckle Stabilizing Strap for Hitch-Mounted Accessories, # 18050 to your Curt 2 Bike Platform Rack, # C18085. This stabilizing strap provides extra support to the bike rack and the vinyl-coated hook won't scratch your vehicle.
