Question:
Just bought a curt Trailer Hitch receiver III - 2 inch and a Swangman Xc2 BIke Rack for 1-1/4 and 2 inch hitches. What can I do to avoid wobbling? Thanks

Expert Reply:
If you have already tightened down the anti-rattle bolt for your Swagman XC 2 Bike Rack # S64650, then you shouldn't be experiencing much play from your bike rack. If, after tightening down the anti-rattle bolt, you feel like the bike rack wobbles too much, then your next option is to use a stabilization strap like part # 18050 This strap from Curt will help reduce any wobbling, or play, that you experience while driving down the road.
