For the Roadway, model numbers TH912XT and TH914XT. For the Parkway, model numbers TH .. Excuse me, TH956, 957, and 958.
For the Hitching Post Pro, model number TH934XTR and for the Thule Passage, TH910XT or TH911XT.Now the actual replacement cradle and strap are sold separately. Those are available at etrailer.com.

Replaces 1 anti-sway cage for your Thule bike rack that uses Stay-Put cradles.I bought my bike rack ( for 4 bikes) about 10 years ago and it the time just had 1bike and over the years I lost the rest of the parts for more bikes. I found your site and was able to add the parts I needed to add a second bike. Great site with everything I needed!
This is a replacement part for a hitch-mounted steel rack carrying 4 bikes. As part of the whole rack, these stabilizers hold the bikes securely from swinging back and forth. My major problem with these and other plastic and rubber parts of the rack system is that they eventually break at the attachment points. I've had to replace most of the removable parts and straps on the rack over the 5 or so years I've had it. Fortunately, all parts are readily available here at etrailer at a reasonable cost. Overall, it's worth the bother. The rack is easy to load and keeps my bikes safe.
This was exactly what I needed to secure my bike on a non traditional bike rack. Service was friendly, fast and helpful. A real rarity today and a welcome relief from the typical automated and frustrating phone tree systems used by many companies.
I have an older model that was missing some parts so I was not able to carry more than one bike securely. These came in a timely fashion and worked great. I added these missing parts and carried two bikes into the mountains for a week long assisted bike trip. Bikes were carried securely as originally intended, even over rough forest service roads, without sway or mishap. I would go thru etrailer again if I needed parts.
I added these high quality Thule bike cradles as replacements to cheap plastic ones that came mounted on my $30 non-Thule bike rack. The 1" pipe size was the same, making this retrofit an excellent solution to an annoying problem. The cheap plastic holders on the rack I purchased broke the first time I used them. These will last a lifetime and do a better job - Thule offers the anti-sway which no cheap rack includes. The straps are also great for sun and salt - they don't harden, crack, break, or rot.
Mike - 02/05/2018Pricey and a tight fit to get them mounted but worth the protection to your bicycles.
Hi. This is an exact replacement for a missing part on my bicycle rack. In stock and fast shipping got me back up & running. The bigger story is the etrailer overall service - it's the best. Thank you.
I've had my bike rack for over five years, and, while the model has since been replaced, it's fantastic that etrailer offers OEM replacement parts for rubber and plastic pieces that naturally age and wear out. The anti-sway cradle and strap were direct replacements and fit perfectly. Easy to install and work perfectly. etrailer did a great job communicating the order's progress, and it was shipped the day I ordered. Great work!
Max B - 01/10/2018I ordered the Thule bike rack a few years ago and it has worked out well. Recently we lost one of the sway bars and was happy to see the etrailer had a large selection of parts and great pictures so I could match mine up. The ordering was quick and the part arrived quickly and snapped it back on. Received emails from etrailer with order confirmation and shipping so that was great!
Joanne B - 12/11/2017Got them on over 1" diameter bars on a 20-year-old Yakima bike rack. Rub the bars first with [dish washing soap] or similar product = enough lubrication to make getting them on easier, but then dries so the cradles stay where you want them. Remember to buy the straps if you don't already have them - cradles don't work/secure your bike without them, but don't come with them. The cradle is bigger than I expected, making it hard to position my wife's bike over it (not much space between the elements of the frame). The extensions at the bottom are to hold the sway stabilizers (another extra purchase + more straps if you need them). May carve off the bottom extensions of one cradle to ease that. When the bikes are tightly strapped down, I don't think I'll need the sway stabilizers. Great service. Great prices. Prompt shipping. Solution I couldn't find anywhere else.
Very pleased with the professionalism of etrailer ans speed of shipping. The performance of the cradles and the anti sway cages is fantastic. Very pleased with the company and the product. Thank You
Loren M - 08/19/2015Perfect fit for my Thule bike rack.
I purchased this anti-sway cage and cradle to retro fit to my older Thule Passage rack. I bought the rack used from Craigslist and it did not have any clamps on the bike support arms, only some black plastic protective sleeves. I believe the rack was an older version of the 910XT. Thanks to the details on this site and awesome pictures I was confident that they would fit (pic shows all the dimensions was very handy) The items arrived in a well packed box with no instructions, but all you need to do is slide them onto the bars (and I am sure there is plenty of info and help on etrailer if I had asked :) ) The older passenger rack has upturned ends on the support arms so the cradles did not slide right on, but after a little WD-40 (which will eventually wash off, but the best thing to slide rubber grips on to new bars is actually hairspray. It allows the item to slide and then drys slightly sticky. I use it when I change grips on my MTB) they slide right on. I haven't checked them on the car yet but I am sure they will be great. Thanks
This review is NOT about the product, but about the customer service people I had contact with. Let's face it, you can buy this stuff lots of places. HOWEVER, the customer service people were fantastic. I wanted to purchase replacement parts for a Thule bike rack. I had no info on model, etc. The representative at etrailer researched Thule and found my bike rack was made in 1990, and parts were no longer available. But she did not stop there (as most would). Instead she located the necessary parts that would work on my rack. They are somewhat different, but yet function perfectly. I would have had to discard my bike rack if the rep. Had not taken the time to research and contact me with the info and then helped me fill my order. This is a great place to do business!
This works well and does exactly what I wanted it to (it keeps the bikes steady so they don't rock back and forth into each other). However, I have 2 water bottle holders on my bike and it is a woman's bike (so the bar angles down instead of straight across). This makes it difficult to get the stay-put cradle in the correct spot. It's pretty long and the extra water bottle holder gets in the way. My husband's bike also had 2 water bottle holders, but because his is a man's bike there is plenty of room and it fits easily.
I really like the bike rack I bought from the etrailer.com. The product has great quality. This anti-sway cages I bought now are to replace the ones that were broken by people who once broke into our car and tore down the parts. The customer service people are really helpful to identify the parts for us. I am very greateful for their help. They are one of the best custermer service people I have ever met. So feel safe and confident to purchase anything from this company.
The product broke upon doing what is was preventing my bike from doing-swaying. The piece is plastic and the weather was cold. But at least there is an easy replacement through eTrailer. I ordered an extra for the next time it breaks.
MJ - 01/13/2015These are easy to install and use. I find that they do a good job of reducing sway on the hitch mounted bike rack. However I mounted the bike rack on the front of the truck and found that the air pressure there when on the road makes using these in that situation impossible, and it can actually break the attachment 'bars' on the bottom of the cradle.
Great service and fast delivery...
This product eliminates other methods I have used to control the swaying of my bikes - simple and quick. The new Stay-Put Cradles - 853-7887 are also a huge improvement. My Parkway carrier is a few years old, and the improvements over the previous cradles along with the addition of the Anti-Sway Cage makes it a perfect bike rack. The rack is mounted behind a 38' Fifth-wheel and my feeling of security has been GREATLY improved. Thanks, also for the wonderful service!
Works perfectly on Thule stay-put cradles. Just make sure the bike is tightly strapped on and you're good to go!
Peter - 05/27/2015So much better than having handlebars and wheels turning constantly.
It's exactly what comes on the Thule bike rack I had, sooo it doesnt get any better than that. These guys are rockstars at getting stuff to you is really why I wanted to review them. Basically had a strap fall off my rack, came on the site and ordered some straps and one of these bad boys, and same day they shipped it out. That was a friday. I got the box on monday. Killer!
Great product, as are all from Thule. What sets this apart from other vendor options is etrailer's customer service. Anyone can sell you a 2 dollar part, but how many take the time to keep you informed of the status of your shipment and follow up with Satisfaction questionnaires ? Top notch customer service.
