Muffler Hits Receiver Hitch on a Acura MDX 2004
Question:
I installed the 75599 trailer hitch, but the muffler is slightly hitting the hitch bar on the driver side during idle and slow operation. Any advice? My MDX is the model with dual exhausts, so there is a muffler on the left and right.

I have linked a picture from below to show you how the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver item # 75599 you referenced is suppose to look when installed on a 2004 Acura MDX. I would check to make sure your muffler and exhaust hasn't been bent or damaged in a way that would cause it to rub on the hitch. I have also linked the instructions and a video of the installation process so you can verify the hitch has been correctly installed.
