Can Stinger Be Replaced for Thule Range Bike Rack
Question:
Hi! I notice that you sell a Replacement 2 Shank for Thule T2 and T2 Classic. I have a Thule Range and the stinger has been damaged so it no longer accepts the Thule threaded locking pin. Which means the rack is not usable. Do you sell a replacement 2 shank for that model or know how I could get it repaired? This rack is second hand, so unfortunately Thule advised it is no longer under warranty. Thanks very much for your help!

Expert Reply:
The shank, or stinger, for the Thule Range RV Bike Rack for 4 Bikes # TH9057 is unfortunately not available so you have 3 options at this point; replace the entire bike rack, drill out the threaded portion so the locking hitch pin can slide into place and use an anti-rattle device like the etrailer # e99007, or try to tap the threaded piece inside the rack with a larger thread size and get a bolt that matches those specs.
If it were me and I was trying to save a few bucks I'd opt for the last choice. After all the warranty is already voided so if you can make it so the locking pin can fit then the anti-rattle is the other function of that pin that you'll need to account for.
