We have several different anti-rattle devices that you could use to reduce or maybe even eliminate rattle of the rack in the hitch. First, many bike racks now come with a threaded bolt or anti-rattle device of some kind. If you can tell me the bike rack you have I can see if there is one specifically made for it.

I recommend the No-Rattle clamp, # RM-061-125 as it will fit 1-1/4 inch hitches and accessories and the bike rack shank can be solid or hollow. Or order # MPG908 for 2 inch. Either of these devices will work well for you but if you do have a 2 inch hitch and bike rack shank that is hollow, the SilentAct # SHP2082 is the way to go.
