• Using Curt Bike Rack Strap Part # 10850 to Help with Bike Rack Bounce on a 2010 Mazda 5
  
• Although the Kuat Alpha has a 3 bike capacity, when it is used with a class I receiver such as the one on your Mazda, you should only place 2 bikes on it. This is not only due to the limited tongue weight capacity of the hitch, but also because of the increased leverage placed on the receiver.

As an alternate mounting location I would recommend you attach to the rack at a lower point on the rack and then run the strap to the lower portion of the lift gate

• Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2009 Toyota Camry LE
  
• CURT requires the use of a stabilization strap to be in compliance with their warranty requirements. The idea is that the strap will help support a non-trailer load (such as a bike rack or cargo carrier) to reduce some of the stress on a Class I, II and some Class III trailer hitches. The CURT hitch is still a good product and the strap is meant to help ensure good performance. Draw-Tite, Hidden Hitch, and Reese hitches do not have this requirement. These hitches undergo supplemental testing
