Expert Reply:

As long as your 2009 Chevy Malibu has a Class II 1-1/4 inch receiver hitch rated for 3500 pounds or larger the A30404 will fit. If you have a Class I hitch rated for 2000 pounds on your Chevrolet you will not be able to install the bike rack. You can find the hitch Class rating on a sticker or stamped on the hitch.

You will need an adapter like the SportRack Bike Frame Adapter, part # A34500 for ladies and alternative frame bikes that have cross bars at an extreme angle. If you try to put these bikes on the rack without an adapter you can have clearance issues with the bike wheels hitting the ground.

I am including a link to a video review of the SportRack bike rack.
