Anti-Rattle Device for a Toyota Prius Towing a Bike Rack with a 1-1/4 Hitch

Expert Reply:

We have two anti-rattle alternatives that are compatible with a 1-1/4 inch receiver. The CURT Trailer Hitch Anti-Rattle Kit, part # F-315 works very well. The block with nut is placed inside the ball mount (or hitch accessory) and drawn to the side of the hitch tube when the pin is tightened. This pushes the ball mount or hitch accessory up against the side of the hitch tube, dramatically reducing movement and vibration.

Also available is the No-Rattle Hitch Wedge, part # 9337. This wedge attaches to the hitch pin, which pulls the accessory tightly against the receiver.
