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.

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.The combination of a Swagman XCT2 bike rack and a curt 1 1/4” receiver produced a bit of a side to side wobble when under way. The Roadmaster Quiet Hitch alleviated this problem. Sturdy product. I torqued the nuts as specified and have had no issues after a dozen trips. I check them as part of my pre-trip routine. Vehicle is garaged so I can’t comment on how it holds up to the weather. A nice solution to the wobble problem. 728612
Love it! I am not sure how you would use it, but I turned it upside down to stabilize a bike rack. Can't do that with a heavier load, but this way it helps elevate the rack so I don't scrape when backing out of the driveway. Still, I wish this product didn't rust. Only had it a year! 872089
This part installed in less than 5 minutes and it does exactly what it says. I'm using this on a 1 1/4" hitch with a bike rack attached. It's very stable now and no noise/rattling. 810073
just used the Roadmaster Quit Hitch to take my bicycle on a 1000 mile trip it eliminated the bouncing and left and right sway that I had previously had. 934430
Followed instructions completely. Didn't help at all with the rattling of my hitch. Very dissappointed. 933074
Does what it was intended to do.. 863945
The Quiet Hitch should be mandatory if you put anything in the hitch receiver. It eliminates rattling and clunking noises. Service from eTrailer was prompt..service from USPS was not but that is nothing over which eTrailer has control. 858298
On the plus side, this is easy to install and does a good job reducing some amount of movement from the hitch. On the down side, it still leaves quite a bit of lateral wobble. So far, I haven't really found anything better, so maybe this is all I can hope for. 848391
I prefer Blue Ox products, but they don't make one in the size I need. This product here is going to get a good test in the next few days, but a) it's well built and b) it fits well on the hitch/receiver system I had to install on my Honda Crosstour (which really isn't designed well for any hitch assembly made. Regardless, I got good service from Stacey A. and I'm glad to be an e-trailer customer. 847742
After one year: this product is great and I would buy again. Simple, inexpensive, does the job perfectly. I use a torque wrench to tighten the nuts, just to be sure. 828521
I didn't work with my adapter as it requires a lip to secure around. My draw tight 1 1/4" didn't have one so this thing is useless. 815499
Bought two of these, one for me, one for my Brother. We both constantly use them. They work, plain and simple. They quiet the rattle at the receiver hitch. Neither of us has had a negative issue. Instructions call for the use of a torque wrench on all four nuts. Use one. Neither of us have experienced bolt stretch or loose fasteners. Excellent product. 809206
It has been THE SOLUTION for my first problem I was figuring before a road trip in western Canada (20 000 km) with my VR. The hitch was supporting a spear tire and no left and right balancing occurred during the trip. I recommande this simple solution to any situation. 798480
This quiet hitch is very good and already using for over one year now. 801150
After owning this for a year, I am 110% satisfied with it. It has stopped the mind bending rattle of the receiver ! I highly recommend this product. Works as described and WILL stop the rattle. Thx! 784292
does an ok job, but be super careful if your vehicle has low clearance and you attempt a driveway that is abruptly steep from the road. Any upward bump to the bike rack (or whatever is back there) will bend this thing quickly. Not it's fault, just a warning. That said, thicker metal would be better. 777857
Great product. Easy installation with the video, as well as the enclosed instructions! 765776
Gotta love how this anti rattle ring keeps cargo carrier from bouncing or shaking. The screws that hold it together are impenetrable. You can always use a socket wrench to disassemble if the screws become too tight. 745898
workls great just like it was suppose to no problems with it so far 735910
Excellent and efficient service, product arrived ahead of scheduled time! 734035
Fast and easy . Thanks Steve 699797
We'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
