Can the Replacement Long Bike Arm for Thule Elite Van XT Be Used on a Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack

Question:

Can this part be substituted for the long arm on an EZ Fold? Other than color it looks to be the same and it is a shorter delivery time. Thanks

I contacted the manufacturer about using the Replacement Long Bike Arm with AcuTight Knob for Thule Elite Van XT on your Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # TH903202 instead of the Replacement Long Arm Assembly for Thule EasyFold XT Electric Bike Rack # 1500052414.

They informed me that while similar in appearance other than the color, the Replacement Long Bike Arm with AcuTight Knob for Thule Elite Van XT would not have been tested with the Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # TH903202 and therefore they cannot recommend that you use that arm.

You would need to use the Replacement Long Arm Assembly for Thule EasyFold XT Electric Bike Rack # 1500052414.
