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.

- Helps to eliminate rattle and sway within your hitch receiver

- Bolt-on installation is quick and easy

- Made in the USA
Specs:
- Application: most 2" x 2" trailer hitch receivers

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.

A simple device which I wouldn't be without; we use it for stopping our bike rack from rocking as well as with the Blue Ox tow rig on the coach. In addition to stabilizing these I believe it helps discourage theft.
by: Phillip06/27/2019
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.
by: BasaltRMK09/02/2022
Seems a bit thin compared to the 2 1/2" version, and uses lock nuts instead of lock washers (which I prefer), but imo these are the best style of hitch stabilizers. Recommended.
by: Adam 09/01/2022
Trailer hitch doesn't slap around in tube. Recommend it for anyone towing with an SUV.
by: James 07/25/2022
Good addition to add extra support 2” E-bike receiver hitch. The Swagman bike carrier is a great hitch but I wanted the extra security being on the back of our trailer.
by: Gerry 11/02/2022
They work beautifully. Absolutely silent and secure connections. Also a very good theft deterrent.
by: William09/29/2019
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!
Comments
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.

Works great for keeping the hitch and ball mount from rattling around. Much better than those rubber inserts.
by: Jim M12/16/2016
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).
Comments
Thanks for for following up . Quiet Hitch QH is continuing to work out great.
Jim M - 12/27/2017by: Grand Ave Broadband07/16/2016
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.
Comments
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.
Grand A - 09/30/2017by: Carl 11/02/2022
Excellent effort from the team and really appreciate the extra effort from Joanne K on the delivery side.
Easy installation and hitch play eliminated. Great fix !
by: M.J.07/28/2018
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.
Comments
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
Matt J - 07/25/2019by: Matt 09/21/2022
A must have for bike racks and such!
by: James 10/19/2022
The product works for me.It took the rattle out
when I pull my utility trailer.
by: Doug04/18/2019
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.
Comments
Still works great with no rattles. Still looks new after repeated dips at the boat ramp.
Doug O - 04/19/2020by: Michael 05/06/2021
This little baby really secured the truck to the trailer! No more clunking and banking between the two every time you slow down, stop, or make a turn!
Comments
absolutely great, keeps everything steady Eddie.
Michael - 05/09/2022by: Russell06/07/2022
Been using it for year now. Works great. No more "clunking" when braking or taking off. Also eliminates rattling and wear on the hitch receiver.
by: Rodney S.01/21/2014
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.
by: Off Road Hitch06/17/2020
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!
by: Tim04/28/2022
The Quiet Hitch solved my challenge of very tight clearances caused by a shorter-than-usual hitch and a receiver with safety-chain brackets very close to the mouth. Other immobilizers did not fit.
by: Dave03/07/2021
Works exactly like it supposed to. No rattle no noise. Fit perfectly and was easy to install. We installed it on a 8 inch extension on the back of a travel trailer for a bike rack because we do not want the bike rack moving around. Works great.
by: Perry A.07/20/2017
Easy to install, only took a couple minutes and solved my noise and tolerance problem between trailer hitch and receptacle.
Comments
Still working great, a solid extension of my truck!
Perry A - 07/29/2018by: Nate R 04/18/2019
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!
by: TRAIL DOG11/22/2016
The Roadmaster Quiet is one Great item, in fact I have both the 2' And the 1'1/4 for my JEEP my boat trailer my bike rack and my basket rack that goes from a 1"1/4 to a 2" the Quiet Hitch keeps all my receivers very stable and quiet, as before I had wobble and noise, just a GREAT item !
by: Tom W.08/14/2016
A great addition to the hitch assembly. Completely eliminated any slap between drawbar and hitch. Well worth the price!!! Would deal with etrailer in the future and the delivery was sooner than expected.

See what our Experts say about this Roadmaster Hitch Anti-Rattle
- Anti-Rattle Device Recommendation for a 1-1/4 inch HitchI do have an anti-rattle device that will work on a 1-1/4 inch hitch, but the Roadmaster Quiet Hitch # RM-061 that you referenced is designed to only work on 2 inch hitches and would not work for you. Check out the No-Rattle Trailer Hitch Wedge # RM-061-125. This product will work on your 1-1/4 inch hitch.
view full answer... - Recommended Anti-Rattle Device for 1-1/4 to 2 Inch Trailer Hitch AdapterThe Roadmaster Quiet hitch would be a great choice. You might actually need two of the Roadmaster Quiet Hitch Anti-Rattle Devices. You'll need part # RM-061-125 for the connection between your adapter and the receiver hitch, and the Quiet Hitch designed for 2 inch hitches, part # RM-061 for the connection between the adapter and the hitch accessory. If the hitch accessory already has an anti-rattle device like some bike racks do, then you'd just need the # RM-061-125. Keep in mind that...
view full answer... - 2 Anti-Rattle Device RM-061 Can be Placed on the Underside of a Hitch OpeningYes, the 2 inch anti-rattle device, part # RM-061, can be placed on the underside of a hitch opening, as long as clearance allows it. The nuts will not vibrate loose as long as they are securely tightened down. Keep in mind, this device should be removed when you are towing your trailer. It cannot handle the tongue weight of a trailer and could be damaged. There is not a safety device made specifically for this part.
view full answer... - Where To Mount a Roadmaster Quiet Hitch Anti-Rattle Device # RM-061The anti rattle ring needs to butt up directly against the hitch and the bar butts up to the drawbar. The bolts on the device then need to be tightened down. This keeps the unit in position and working to keep the accessory nice and snug. We have a video installation of the Roadmaster Quiet Hitch Anti-Rattle Device, item # RM-061, for you to review, that shows the complete installation procedure.
view full answer... - How Can Rattling and Wobbling Be Stopped on Surco 24x60 Cargo CarrierIt would not be wise to modify the car with extra attachment points to the vehicle for stability or to add tie-down poles for the cargo. Altering or adding to the structure can weaken the carrier not to mention void any applicable manufacturer warranty. We carry parts to remedy the wobbling problem like part # RM-061. Anti-rattle devices put some tension between the accessory and the hitch, just enough to reduce rattling and wobbling. Using a tie-down post for something like a dirt bike...
view full answer... - Can the Thule STL2 be Used as an Anti-Rattle Device for Hitch Extender HES6The Thule Snug Tite Hitch Lock and Anti-Rattle Device, # STL2, is designed to work with Thule bike racks specifically. This lock can be used to lock a Thule rack to the extender, but not the extender to the hitch, so it will not work. The Roadmaster Quiet Hitch, # RM-061 can be used on the connection between the hitch extender and the hitch receiver itself. Keep in mind that using a hitch extender will DECREASE the tongue weight capacity of your hitch by 50 percent.
view full answer... - The Diameter of the U-Bolt in the Roadmaster Quiet Hitch for 2 Inch Trailer Hitches # RM-061The U-Bolt portion of the Roadmaster Quiet Hitch for 2 Inch Trailer Hitches, # RM-061, is 11/32 inches in diameter. The thickest part of the base is 7/8 inches in diameter. The most narrow part of the base (where the nuts are) is about 11/16 inches in diameter. The inside diameter across is about 3-1/8 inches. The outside diameter across is just under 3-7/8 inches (3.819 inches).

view full answer... - Can Roadmaster Quiet Hitch be Used with Weigtht Distribution SystemRecently Roadmaster told us that we can safely recommend the part # RM-061 with weight distribution systems. If you are going to use the Quiet Hitch with a weight distribution system, the setup will be opposite. Position the U-bolt around the top of the hitch receiver and place the bar on the bottom of the weight distribution shank. As you tighten the nuts on the Quiet Hitch, the shank will be pulled up towards the top of the receiver to help balance the downward force that is placed...

view full answer... - Will Quiet Hitch Anti-Rattle Device Fit a 2011 Jeep Wrangler with Quadratec HitchIf you were to use the Quiet Hitch # RM-061 to where the nuts were at the bottom instead of at the top then it will work great with the Quadratec hitch which is not unlike any of the other hitches for your 2011 Jeep Wrangler. If it was positioned the other way with the nuts at the top on the receiver side there may not be enough room to get a wrench or socket on the nuts.
view full answer... - Can Roadmaster Quiet Hitch Be Used to Tow a Trailer Behind a MotorhomeYes, the Roadmaster Quiet Hitch # RM-061 can be used to tow a motorcycle trailer with a your motorhome. Just as long as the hitch receiver on your motorhome has a ring or collar around it.

view full answer... - Can Anti-Rattle Device Be Used with Weight DistributionWith the amount of spring bar force at work with your E2 weight distribution it is surprising that you are experiencing any type of movement in your hitch. The spring bars should be placing a substantial amount of tension on the shank against the walls of the receiver, thus keeping it firmly in place. That being said a # RM-061 could be used on the shank of your system and would help reduce movement.
view full answer... - Could Roadmaster Quiet Hitch be Used with Weight Distribution SystemIf your Weight Distribution System has been properly set up, there should be no movement of the weight distribution shank in the receiver, as the spring bars should be placing a substantial amount of tension on the shank against the walls of the receiver, thus keeping it firmly in place. The part # RM-061 would help secure the shank of the system to the hitch opening if you happened to be driving around with the system disengaged.
view full answer... - What are the Torque Specs for Roadmaster Quiet Hitch Anti-Rattle DeviceI checked with Roadmaster about the Quiet Hitch # RM-061. First, you would torque both of the first nuts to 23 foot pounds. Then hold those nuts in place with a wrench and torque the jam nuts to 23 foot pounds as well.

view full answer... - Can Roadmaster Quiet Hitch # RM-061 Be Used with Weight Distribution SystemThe Roadmaster Quiet Hitch for 2 Inch Trailer Hitches # RM-061 referenced in your question can be used with your weight distribution shank without causing any issues. You will just position the U-bolt around the top of the hitch receiver and place the bar on the bottom of the weight distribution shank. When you tighten the nuts on the Quiet Hitch, the shank will be pulled up towards the top of the receiver. This should greatly reduce the play you mentioned getting from the hitch when you...
view full answer... - Does Roadmaster Quiet Hitch RM-061 Have a Towing CapacityDue to how the Roadmaster Quiet Hitch # RM-061 attaches to a ball mount it really doesn't have a tow capacity. It doesn't bear any weight when towing so it does not have a towing capacity.

I've attached a couple videos to help you with how this anti-rattle system works to keep your ball mount or other accessories snug and quiet.
