Use this hitch immobilizer to keep your ball mount or hitch-mounted accessory from rattling and shifting in your receiver. Great for tow bars, high-low adapters, bike racks, cargo carriers, and more. Quick, simple bolt-on installation.
Features:
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 tow bar, hitch adapter, ball mount, 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.
Benefits for a Tow Bar
Using an anti-rattle device, such as the Quiet Hitch, is recommended when flat towing a vehicle. Besides reducing wear and tear on your tires, hitch receiver, and tow bar, using an anti-rattle device can help prevent more serious problems. A small amount of free play at your hitch may not seem like much, but this sway is magnified the farther back you go. A little movement at the hitch translates to a lot of movement at the rear of your towed vehicle. By using the Quiet Hitch, you eliminate this sway at the source.
Note: If you have a towing setup that includes a drop receiver or a high-low adapter, use 2 immobilizers to make your system as secure and rattle-free as possible. Use 1 Quiet Hitch at the connection point between the adapter and your hitch, and use the other where your tow bar slides into the adapter.

Ratings & Reviews
Annoying -- if you have to remove it frequently, so as to use your hitch for non-trailer purposes.
The U-bolt bends (laterally outward on both sides) just enough, during even light use, to bake getting it back through its holed cross-shaft a struggle.
The steel on the U-bolt and the nuts is of somewhat low quality. It corrodes surprisingly quickly. Getting the double nuts (2 per side) started can be a hassle.
On the other hand, the Quiet Hitch works well enough to reduce rattles produced by our 1250 pound capacity 4x6 trailer.
That said, I would not use it for a heavier trailer -- unless I intended never to take the ball component out of the hitch. And even then, I would be concerned that this comparatively flimsy set-up would break.
Note (also) that --as one of the other reviewers mentioned -- this device will not work unless your hitch has a pronounced lip at its end. I have noticed that the lip on our hitch is becoming partially over-ridden by the Quiet Hitch u-bolt, despite being tightened properly.
If the Quiet Hitch had a squared u-bolt -- which would be less able to roll itself over the hitch lip -- this would be less likely to happen.
Keep in mind that I pull this very light trailer about 6-8 times a year, only 5 miles each instance, and with only 1200 pound loads. I cannot imagine someone putting the Quiet Hitch to a significantly lighter use.
In short -- when the Roadmaster Quiet Hitch fails -- as it is going to, due to its white corrosion and the u-bolt lateral spreading that it is experiencing -- I will not be replacing it with the same item.
Having a Jeep with a hatch you get a lot of trailer noise inside of the vehicle. I bought this product hoping to reduce that sound and it works flawlessly. It eliminates the clunk of the hitch moving around especially with a light load. Plus it also adds a little extra security with the hitch when parked somewhere with your load. Great product!
The team at E-Trailer are great to work with!
I just fitted the Blue Ox towbar, for 6 inch, drop/rise, receivers. Also, the, Roadmaster quiet hitch lock, for 2 inch hitches. Both are excellent products, strong and very well made. There is no movement, with my new hitch lock in place. Two pictures included, showing both, attached to my Subaru Ascent, the drop hitch now sits at 15 1/2 inches above the ground. I will send more pictures of the lights, also purchased from etrailer.com when my mobility scooter carrier is completed.
I ended up using a 7-1/2 inch Roadmaster extender along with a Roadmaster 4" Hi-Lo adapter to tow our Jeep with our motorhome. I used 3 of the quiet hitch brackets to stabilize the extensions and tow bar. We towed for the first time this weekend for about a 170 mile round trip. The Jeep tracked perfectly behind the motorhome. I had to make several hard stops due to lights changing and cars pulling into traffic unexpectedly. There was absolutely no noise or hitch bounce. They are easily installed. I highly recommend this product.
This product has been flawless. I have a hitch extension with a riser, attached to a hitch swing out mount and then attach a 3 bike rack to that. The point is my set up puts a huge amount of stress on this anti wobble device and it has handled it perfectly. Did I mention I’ve driven this set up hundreds of miles off road? Washboard roads and plenty of off road in Baja Mexico. I originally tried one of the flat steel plate anti wobble devices, it ended up bending. I can not recommend this round anti wobble device enough!
Perfect for what I needed. Used on Class A motorhome with a 6” high/ low hitch adapter to keep my Blue Ox tow bar level. Other designs would not fit under the motorhome bumper to clamp onto the receiver properly without possible damage due to tight area. This is perfect.
Simple and functional.
I use it with a dual reviewer hitch to carry my bike (one up USA) while I pull my camper. No clanking or rattle, and the bike doesn't flop around.

1 Year, many trips, still working great.
This invention is exactly what I needed. I pull several trailers and also a camper. It takes all the clunk and rattle out of the hitch. Its the real deal!

It still works great and I would not pull one of my trailers without it!
I installed the spare tire carrier per instructions, easy to follow. Had no problems other than the upright support blocked the cover for the 7 pin electrical connection on the RV. Had to make some modifications there. Today, finally had new tires installed along with ordering a wheel and and spare tire for the mount. Mounting was easy peasy. The guys at Discount Tire were really impressed with the tire carrier. So, now I feel much better on embarking on my upcoming 4500 mile RV trip. Thanks to Briele for her excellent advice and help. All went well.
The product is effective beyond my hopes. All the rattling of my 6" drop hitch has stopped when under load or just driving without the trailer. I couldn't be happier.

Still works great with no rattles. Still looks new after repeated dips at the boat ramp.
Easy to install, only took a couple minutes and solved my noise and tolerance problem between trailer hitch and receptacle.

Still working great, a solid extension of my truck!
I order the roadmaster quiet hitch from E-trailer and it seems to be working OK, it's taken out about half of the wobble on my hitch Accessory. I give E-trailer of 5 star for shipping it out, it only took about a week. And I give the product about 4 stars because it is built sturdy and seems to be working OK.

Ive had to replace both nuts on both sides due to the fact they just did not seem to tighten down and stay tight. I went ahead and bought hardened nuts instead and they seem to be working out. It still only keeps the rattle down to about 50 or 70 but its better than nothing
We have a small pop up camper on our 4WD truck, We fabricated a top step using a plate(step tread) welded on a draw bar. The step moved slightly because the draw bar was not secure. The Roadmaster "Quiet Hitch" removed all the "wiggle" in the step and has removed the extra movement out of our tow hitch ( we tow a Suzucki Samurai).

Thanks for for following up . Quiet Hitch QH is continuing to work out great.
After a long review of available products to reduce rattle on my low-tongue-weight job trailer, I settled on this unit as my only hope. I had to install it upside-down (nuts down) because the safety chain anchor rings on my Jeep Renegade block access to the lower lip on the receiver. Even so, it eliminated the greatest part of the awful rattle, bringing the problem down to a truly acceptable level.

After a year, the hitch rattles slightly more than it did when I first installed it yes, the torque is still proper but still nowhere near as bad as it did before I purchased it.
Quick response very fast shipping
I just bought a new bike rack for my E-bike, and in order to be able to put the tailgate down with the e-bike on the rack, I had to install a 7" extender on to the 2" hitch. The bike rack already had a anti-rattle device built in, but the 7" extension moved around a lot, making my e-bike sway real bad while on the road. A simple and excellent fix was installing the Quiet Hitch, an Anti-rattle Ring. After I installed it, the bike rack was solid as a rock. Installed in just a few minutes, and very well made. (Of course, it's made in the good old USA.). Made by Roadmaster. Good Job!

The quiet hitch is still working as good as the first day I put it on. Its been a slow year, with the flu and all, but I expect it to be a great tool for years to come.
Anti-Spring works, but U-Bolt keeps spreading out so that you have to get a rubber mattet to pound the U-Bolt to fit the bottom plate.
Easy to install. Works well. Needed for a bike rack to hook onto the camper.

Looks nice and secure, Bonnie :)
Seems well made, but the bar is very large and will not fit the tight clearance on my Toyota’s receiver/drawbar setup. Be sure to measure before ordering.
The hitch is no longer rattling! I had to reverse the item due to the bumper interference. I hope that is acceptable. I used lock nuts after the first set of nuts too.
The reason for my delay is that this quiet hitch would not fit my previous truck. I worked great on my new truck. The engineering, fabrications and design just flat out work. This was about the 3rd brand that I had tried and I would have saved a lot of time, money and frustration buying this Roadmaster 1st.Love it!

Thanks John, we're glad to hear that your Quiet Hitch is working well for you! What are you towing?
Very easy but effective. With the additional of a Tow Defender I was pressed for room. My original receiver tightened was the flat plate with a u bolt. It worked great but would no longer fit. This one is great because it fits and the bolt can face upwards do there is no danger of damaging it if you drag on a driveway (experience!) I recommend it in any mounting situation.

I agree, Chief! I recommended this part just yesterday to someone who had very limited room for another device by their receiver. Works like a dream!
This has been a good product. It efficiently removes all movement in the hitch arm when pulling our travel trailer.

I have been using this product for some time and I am very pleased with the results. It quiets the hitch and locks it firmly in place allowing for less movement and subsequently less wear and tear. I purchased a second one when I added a double drop down hitch. One for the vehicle's hitch receiver and one for the drop down's receiver. I occasionally retorque the bolts per specs and have had no problems with the product.

It seems like this has really made a difference for you, Sean! it’s great to hear you’re keeping up with regular maintenance to ensure it lasts. Sounds like you're all set for smooth towing!

About a month or so ago, while on a road trip, I was retorting the bolts on one of the Roadmaster Quiet Hitch’s and the u-bolt portion snapped. I had another one shipped to our RV Resort from Amazon and installed it with no problems. I am at a loss for why it broke, the other one seems fine. I used a proper torque wrench set to the manufacturers specs. Other than that they have worked very well and I will keep using them,
Do you have a question about this Hitch Anti-Rattle?

Love this product. Was recommended to me by a friend, insurance agent, fellow RV’er. No more banging and rattling and provides that little extra stability needed.
