Today we're going to be taking a look at the replacement anti-sway attachment for the Thule Gateway, Archway, and Vertex bike racks. Prevent your bike rack from rocking back and forth during transport by replacing a lost or damaged anti-sway cage on the whole fast cradle of you Thule Vertex Gateway or Archway bike rack. The unit simply attaches to the angled extension on the bottom of the cradle, snaps into place. One anti-sway cage is included. It's going to work with the cradle and rubber strap to help prevent your bike from rocking back and forth during transport. It does have the two mounting knobs on there for securing rubber straps.
That's going to do it for today's look at the replacement anti-sway attachment.
These two replacement parts were exactly like the original ones that came with the bike rack. They were delivered quickly and ordering was easy.
Received the product in a timely fashion and it was easy to install. I would definitely order other replacement parts for my bike rack through your company.

After one year, the part is still doing well and is essential in keeping my bike stable on the rack. Took bikes to South Carolina and back without a problem.
It was easy to find what I was looking for. The description was accurate and matched what I received. The package arrived when promised.
I'll be back.
The anti sway cage fit my Thule trunk bike carrier perfectly. I’m happy that I didn’t have to dispose of the carrier. E-trailer carried the part I couldn’t find at Thule.
Very quick service and the part was right - even though the bike rack I needed it for was almost 20 years old. Thanks!
Great service
Tough to find part for an older bike rack, works great.
perfect fit, fast shipping, great product and service
The bike hitch and arm are very sturdy and well-designed, but the rubber rings, attachments and straps are ridiculous. The rings are immovable (except when they move by themselves during transport of bikes then can’t be moved back) and the other pieces are awkward to use and don’t stay on. It’s like the original engineers of the bike racks were replaced by amateurs when it came to the last 20% of the job - the parts that are used most.
Fit perfectly, so relieved for our next trip.
Great product and great service!
Excellent, needed replacements for those that were removed from my rack (unauthorized "5-finger-discounts" from passers by...). Just like the originals.
purchased 1 piece of 852-2903-001
and 6 pieces of 852-3006-001 (to replace sun damaged ones)...
So now I remove all of these and store them inside my vehicle when not carrying the bikes.

Great. Thank You.
Purchase and order process was smooth and hassle free. No issues great service experience
Excellent quality. Feels sturdier than the OEM.
finally a meaningful rating - usually I receive a product and before I even get the wrapper off I am asked to rate it - here I've used the parts for a year and can give an informed rating - they worked exactly as I hoped - perfect - thanks

Great. Holding up just fine
Etrailer was the only place I could find these. The price was great, as was packaging and delivery. I'm very pleased with etrailer.

These still work great. They are easy to secure, keep the bikes from swinging, and feel like they’ll last a long time. They are made of rubber instead of the plastic models they replaced. No bumper scratches after a year of use!
Every transaction with etrailer has been first rate. They know their products and offer first class customer service. They provide great video help to make installations easy. A teriffic company with a first rate business model.

Still Perfect!
This is a component for an anti sway device on a bike rack. The parts are well designed, easily disassembled for different configurations, and work well for intended purpose.
Most of all, eTrailer is fantastic as usual. Great price and fast shipping. Bonus, if you have any issues, a live person answers the phone and a resolution comes in moments without pushback. If I need it, I check here first.
Does what it's supposed to. Direct OEM replacement. Easy to order, plenty of shipping options & showed up exactly when etrailer said it would.

1 year later, still working as it should, no noticeably excessive wear or deterioration.
Item was exactly what I was looking for and delivered as promised.
Very grateful that etrailer.com had these anti-sway attachments that were "removed" (i.e. stolen) from our Thule bike rack. etrailer had a full selection of the parts we needed for our specific bike rack model. Easy to navigate, search, and order from the etrailer website. Delivery was as scheduled.
The Thule anti=sway attachment was an original part which worked great. Service was great and fast. Highly recommended company!

Grea!!t No problems, good purchase, good company,
First of all, the service from e-trailer is amazing. I no sooner order what I want and it is in the mail! Keep up the good work.
The anti-sway cradle for the Thule bike rack is a poor design. Other bike racks that either I have owned or that I have seen, have this section complete with no opening. Because of this open section (see above), I have lost two of them in a couple of months of ownership. This needs another part to complete the attachment. At least I get good service in replacing them.

Still working fine. Even though the rack is stored in our shed, the many temperature variations of Upstate NY don’t seem to have negatively impacted them as of yet.
