Can The Thule Snug Tite Hitch Lock and Anti-Rattle Device, # THSTL2, Fit Other Brands Of Bike Racks

Expert Reply:

The Thule Snug Tite Hitch Lock and Anti-Rattle Device, # THSTL2, can only be used on Thule brand bike racks.

Most bike rack manufacturers will only design the hitch locks to only fit their products. The threads are unique to the manufacturers bike racks.

I also have a Softride Anti-Rattle Device and Lock, # SR25219, which is a universal lock and a anti-rattle device, for 2 inch hitches or the Trailer Hitch Anti-Rattle Kit for 1-1/4" Trailer Hitches, # F-315. These anti-rattle devices will only work on ball mounts or accessory shanks that are hollow. If the ball mount or shank is solid, the Roadmaster Quiet Hitch, part # RM-061 would be a good choice.
