Use this hitch immobilizer to keep your drawbar or hitch-mounted accessory from rattling and shifting in your receiver. Great for bike racks, cargo carriers, and other accessories. Quick, simple bolt-on installation.

Specs:
Nearly every hitch setup suffers from a bit of slip. This free play between your trailer hitch receiver and your hitch-mounted accessory is completely normal, but it's also completely preventable. By adding the Quiet Hitch to your setup, you can stabilize your hitch-mounted accessory as it sits in the receiver to eliminate rattle, sway, and all that extra play.
Just slip the Quiet Hitch over your drawbar or other accessory. When you slide the accessory into the hitch receiver, position the U-bolt around the collar on the bottom of your hitch receiver. Then place the bar on top of the accessory shank and tighten the nuts onto the U-bolt. As you tighten the Quiet Hitch, the shank of your accessory will be pulled down towards the bottom of the receiver opening, thus securing it in place within the tube.

Today we're going to be taking a look at the Roadmaster Quiet Hitch. This is a hitch immobilizer. It's been designed for use with 1-1/4" hitches. The part number on it is RM-061-125. One thing you're really going to notice about this immobilizer is its heavy-duty construction, fully coated to resist any kind of corrosion. Just take a look at that. The ball mount literally is not going to move with this in place.
Just as the name implies, this isn't called an anti-rattle device. This isn't simply just to prevent a little bit of noise back here. They call this an immobilizer and it does just that. It's simply going to immobilize our ball mount from making any kind of move. This can be used with a variety of accessories, whether it's a ball mount, a bike rack, even a tailgating table.
Anything we want to put in here and hold sturdy, like a cargo carrier, something like that, very easy and simple to do. Now that we've gone over the features of it, let's take a look at how to get this installed. The Quite Hitch is going to consist of just six easy to put together components. We're going to have our top block, our U bolt, two flange nuts which are going to be the first to make contact with our block, and then another nut that's going to be our jamb nut which will sit right on top of that. The first step is going to be to bring the U bolt portion around the underside of our hitch. It is important to note this is only going to work on an 1-1/4" hitch that has this collar around here. If it's one of the straight styles this is not going to work for it. We'll place that around the back side of that collar.
The top block goes down into place. Now let's take our two flange nuts, let's just thread those down so they make contact. I like to center that up on our hitch. Then we'll simply use a torque wrench. We're going to torque these nuts down to the appropriate specification.
Just refer to the instruction manual. It'll tell you exactly what that is. We'll, of course, do this evenly. We want to have pretty equal pressure going from side-to-side there. Last up, let's put our two jamb nuts down on there. Perfect. Again, set them to the appropriate specification that's in your instruction manual. Just like that we're ready to hook up to our trailer, load up our table with goodies, fill up our cargo carrier and head down the road, whatever the case may be. .

Thanks for the follow-up. Everything is good, Im pleased with the hitch.
Tom - 09/26/2016Had a lot of rattling and clunking from the hitch. Rattling with nothing in tow and clunking when towing( starting & stopping ). This item has made everything nice and tight.... as usual the service from ETRAILER was terrific. Easy to order and it arrived quickly. Don't know why anyone would go anywhere else for their trailer- ing needs. 346766
still doing what it is designed for
Al F - 03/01/2018I have used this only once. I do which the U bolt and nuts where of a higher grade of steel. I will just have to see how it wears. But I would recommend this if you have a noisy little trailer like we have. 283210
This product is truly as easy to use as it claims to be. I put it on my hitch in minutes, with no fancy tools, and it totally works to get rid of the sway. I am using it with my 1.25 to 1.25 hitch riser (VH-HR2 from Discount Ramps) on my 2009 Toyota Sienna van. My bike rack is attached to the hitch riser and there is very little movement in the hitch/rack even at higher rates of speed. The shopping experience with etrailer.com was great and shipping was faster then expected. 279432
I use this Roadmaster Quiet Hitch U-collar to stabilize the 1.25"-2" hitch adapter which I plug into the 1.25" hitch on my car. The adapter allows me to attach my 2" Kuat bike rack to the car. The Quiet Hitch does a great job of reducing sway. The only thing I don't like about the Quiet Hitch is that you are supposed to use a torque wrench to tighten it, yet another tool to carry along and lose. Even when I snug up the Quiet Hitch flange and lock nuts well with a 1/2" socket, they do tend to loosen after a few miles. Assuming that my Quiet Hitch loosens because I don't use a torque wrench, it would be nice if the Quiet Hitch were made with an airplane-grade retention system that doesn't require torquing to a specific value. 412624
Had a hard time finding a hitch stabilizer that would work for my situation. In my case, I am not towing anything but, rather, mounting a bike rack. Also, complicating matters was a converter from 1-1/4" to 2". The rack mounted on the 2" receiver and comes with a screw down bolt to prevent play. Unfortunately, the converter had no such feature and had significant play when inserted into the 1-1/4" receiver of the two hitch. The Roadmaster product completely solved the issue. Very happy with the results. 194140
Great anti wobble device. I was about to jettison my bike rack until I spoke to an etrailer rep who recommended the Roadmaster Quiet Hitch. The suggestion was spot on as it has eliminated the wiggle and sway. I am gratified when something advocated works and the price is at a bargain. Thank you much for your expertise. 219680
This thing does a brilliant job of stabilizing the hitch inside the receiver to keep it from banging and rattling around. I have a Curt Euro-style integrated ball and mount so bolt-type stabilizer wouldn't work. The plating does a nice job of staving off rust and the flanged nuts help prevent the hardware from backing off. 469704
First of all, the quick service and shipping were unbeatable-- I got my order the next day with regular shipping. The Roadmaster Quiet Hitch is as advertised and exactly what I needed-- I've never seen one in a retail store. Review the Erickson Re-Tractable Ratchet Straps w/ Push Button Releases - 2" x 6' - 1,333 lbs - Qty 2 - 34414 These straps are great-- with no extra flapping straps to tie up. 228426
Just fine and Im about to buy another when my new vehicle is delivered.
Tom A - 09/28/2016We've used this gadget several times, and it works. No more noisy clanking of loose trailer hitch parts! 656665
Wouldn’t stay on, called to return but to no avail! 634986
Looks like this will do the job. Thank you Adam E. for your help and personal input. 609496
Great product. Works well. 601271
This little gadget is amazing! It makes the trailer so much quieter, and it is so simple. It is a pleasure doing business with E-trailer. We always find what we are looking for, and receive it fairly quick. Thanks! 598521
Product works as advertised. Stopped the rattle when ever bumps were hit.A must have for a quite ride. 591849
I included this in the review for the rack. It works well but not super attractive. 590875
It works as described. 589549
My anti- rattle/wobble problem with my utv cargo carrier required two different size Road Master clamps. I needed one for a 2” receiver and one for a 1.25.The clamps immediately solved the problem. Great product line and even better service. 589463
works as stated. 585565
This item is sure the ticket for movement in your hitch. This stopped the rattling and also the shifting that occurred prior to installation. Although I've only used it a few times, specifically for a hitch cargo carrier, it works! 585147
I ordered this to limit twisting and bounce at the hitch rather than for noise reduction. My hitch is already quiet and pretty solid but would twist back and forth enough that I was always uncomfortable when I had two bikes mounted on the rack. This is an improvement over a similar unit that I had been using. It’s simple to install, tends to stay tight over long drives, and makes the dancing bikes much steadier. Overall it’s a small investment that brings a lot of peace of mind. 583050
After a year, still works better than e xpected 566185
Thanks 563670
Bought to eliminate the chalkboard and fingernails rattle from my receiver tube.It seems to work very well to eliminate the noise.Only con is time to install and remove from hitch. 519069
Does what it says. I have been using this on my thule bike rack along with a 1.25 to 2" adapter. 512544
Product works great! No rattling the hitch is very solid. Works exactly as advertised. I highly recommend it. 495919
works as expected, however the U bolt bends if the weld on the receiver lip is not flush with the receiver tube. No big deal but it does not help if you are trying to tork the required ft. lbs. It does however stabilize my bike rack and there is no movement at all. 483989
Works perfect. 468779
Great product. Thanks! 456575
Hitch was quiet after install. 450123
Works for what it was designed for.
Jeff - 11/08/2018I wish the Quiet Hitch was stronger, beefier! I really wanted to lock down my carrier but was not able to tighten it as much as I wanted to. The device stopped most of the movement but not all. 445278
Installed this on my bicycle rack and it got rid of the rocking sloppiness that was a distraction to me when I was driving. 432025
Initial install changed motion of bike carrier from a floppy 6-8inches sideways to a grudging inch. I am Very pleased with this product. 431310
Easy to use and works well. Very satisf ied 427222
Item performed and prevented the rattle and loose hitch issue no banging or loose sounds now. Super Item 426237
Quiet hitch works as advertised. No rattles or clunks from the hitch area. About 10,000 miles on the bracket. Certainly glad I heard about it from my trailer manufacturer! 422310
fast shipping ,easy install does what it is designed to do 419892
It does help stop about 70% of the slack, but it does not eliminate all of the slack. Another thing to think about is that it also works as a lock for your hitch. It would be time consuming for a thief to undo the nuts and take your hitch. So it is a dual purpose product. 413616
Works great! I've used both sizes with great success. 399609
Quiet Hitch worked perfect. Just got back from my first to camping trip of the year. Didn't hear any noises back there. The product came quickly in the mail also. 380310
Did what it was advertised to do. I am happy. Disappointing that things that are supposed to fit at the start don't and it costs more for another piece. Thank you. 376862
took all the play and noise out of the receiver 365798
Does what I needed it to do, no rattling, no noise and solid. Easy install and removal. Could have been longer at threaded section to includes washers in my situation. 364740
This morning my TWO Roadmaster Quiet Hitched (2" and 1-1/4") arrived. I set about mounting my bicycle rack into my new etrailer.com 2" Draw-Tite hitch on my 2014 Subaru Outback. I mounted the Roadmaster Quiet Hitches and was very pleased the bike rack went from having over 5" of free-play at the rack head to less than 1/2" of free-play. I no longer need to have a strap from the rack head to the roof rack. I very good investment. (it is a long story why I have both 2" and 1-1/4" hitches) 365759
The products have worked out VERY well ... I am much pleased. It was a very good investment. I found I needed to invert the 2 stabilizer because of clearance issues with the rear plastic valance but I see no problems.
John A - 04/05/2018Works as intended. 356963
Good product easy to install. 349761
Haven't had the chance to test on a longer trip but initial assessment is that this simple and easy to install item works great. 349487
Hitch and especially bolts attaching b*tch to frame rusting very quick. Much quicker then adjacent vehicle parts. I do live in New England but still!
Dave M - 03/08/2018This product ended my search for a way to securely mount a bike rack on my car wiggle-free. It's unnerving to look in you rearview mirror to see $6,000 worth of bicycles flopping around. The Roadmaster Quiet Hitch solved that problem, holding the bike rack securely in the receiver hitch. 339137
The etrailer website "store" is extremely easy to use with tons of detailed information, product photos, and lots of videos. I was very happy to see SUV specific solutions for 2 bike carriers coupled with an easy way to compare various products that would meet our needs. Placing the order was a breeze and delivery was extremely quick with no damage whatsoever due to the excellent packing. Very, very pleased with the entire shopping experience at etrailer. 336971
